Well, summer WAS here briefly, but I guess I spoke too soon. It was back to gray and yucky again today. Anyway!
I should get to bed, but I just had to say I finally accomplished my goal of getting Apache 2.2 and PHP 5 to run on Windows tonight… it only took like TWO HOURS! It all came down to one optional module I tried to install during the PHP install process:
[PHP_THREADS]
extension=php_threads.dll
Ugh. Pages would serve up half way and then PHP would make Apache throw a nasty exception… it went so far as to kill the server process. After a lot of trial and error (taking modules out, puting them back in, etc) I finally narrowed it down to this one.
I was actually hoping to have access to threading, too, but whatever. My target development platform is Linux anyway… but I was hoping to develop on Windows. Hmm. Fine if I don’t use threads, I guess?
