i'm installing php so that i can use it with the apache software and i've followed the guide here: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-install-php-on-apache-in-windows/ but when i do the command : httpd -t i get the error :

httpd: Syntax error on line 538 of C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load \xe2\x80\x9cC:\php\php8apache2_4.dll\xe2\x80\x9d into server: The specified module could not be found.

i know there is some people with similar problem but i didn't find a solution that suit the problem. i'm using Apache 2.4 VS16 and php 8.1.6 VS16 x64 Thread Safe

  • It would probably be easier to install WAMPServer or XAMPP as you get Apache/MySQL/mariaDB/PHP/phpMyAdmin etc etc all for one simple install Commented Jun 1, 2022 at 9:07
  • The path \xe2\x80\x9cC:\\php\\php8apache2_4.dll\xe2\x80\x9d seems to be all kinds of messed up. Commented Jun 1, 2022 at 9:07

Look at the error message. Search for the bits that look weird.

See this page:

U+201C    “   \xe2\x80\x9c    LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
U+201D    ”   \xe2\x80\x9d    RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK

You need to use regular quote marks (i.e. " which is U+0022 : QUOTATION MARK {double quote}) around strings.

Don't copy/paste code from blogs that use software designed for English and not code.

Remove the quotes from the line so instead of having:

LoadModule "php_module C:\Apache24\PHP-8.2.0\php8apache2_4.dll"

you should have:-

LoadModule php_module C:\Apache24\PHP-8.2.0\php8apache2_4.dll
