On windows 7 (x64 ultimate) I encountered the same issue. Apache 2.2.14 doesn't start after installing PHP 5.3.1 I did get an error in the apache error log: [Sat Dec 26 11:10:19 2009] [crit] (OS 1813)The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file. : master_main: create child process failed. Exiting. (re)starting apache from the Apache Monitor results in "The requested operation has failed" manually running httpd.exe results in "The program can't start because ntwdblib.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Added these symptoms to make this bug easier to find.

Just a default PHP install does it for me. And commenting out the line in php.ini: ;extension=php_mssql.dll fixed the problem. WinXP Pro, V2002, SP3, a new work machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-04 03:05:45] aruizbcs at gmail dot com The same problem is happening with the OS Windows 7 - the first time I supposed the installation path could be the problem ("C:\Program Files") considering the security issues of the OS but when I tried other paths like "C:\PHP" the problem still continues. The recommendation to comment out "extension=php_mssql.dll" works and the problem is gone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-23 09:23:51] ben dot arnold dot spam at hotmail dot com Thanks for the speedy response! I just commented out "extension=php_mssql.dll" and it all works perfectly now. Apache starts and I have "hello world" up and running. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-23 09:08:27] paj...@php.net Do you need the mssql extension? If not simply comment out the mssql lines in your php.ini. I'll look into this problem (not sure why it did not install it). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-23 08:47:13] ben dot arnold dot spam at hotmail dot com Any suggestions for a workaround would be much appreciated. As it stands I am not able to install PHP at all! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
