error starting apache

I get the following error when starting apache (it has something to do with php) :

Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Error signature:
szAppName : httpd.exe szAppVer : 2.2.15.0 szModName : php5ts.dll
szModVer : 5.2.13.13 offset : 000f351c

Help appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel

 

Make a backup of php5ts.dll (should be in your PHP folder).
Replace the file php5ts.dll with a fresh copy. You can get that file in this PHP package http://pt2.php.net/get/php-5.2.13-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror.

 

I searched the whole C drive, but I did not find php5ts.dll.

 

Try searching for "php.exe" and put the fresh php5ts.dll on same folder.

 

I copied a fresh php5ts.dll to the PHP directory over the old copy. Nothing changed when I started Apache, I still get "Error signature
szAppName : httpd.exe szAppVer : 2.2.15.0 szModName : php5ts.dll
szModVer : 5.2.13.13 offset : 000f351c "

I also get warning:
Module 'exif' already loaded. But I think that is a seperate problem.

 

Please try disabling the extensions on php.ini. If you have any doubts about how to do it PM me.

 

I disabled the extension php_exif.dll and Apache started ok. Thanks.
