phpapache2.dll not found

Hmmm... I'm on my first task at my new company. The project I'm involved with is a PHP to Java conversion(Ewwww!). I have to say I really don't like it but it should give me the experience and discipline needed to stay on the job. Besides, it should be fun to work with other people from a distant place. We were trying to mimic their server settings. I downloaded PHP(5.1.6) and Apache Webserver's(2.2.3) latest release. To my surprise, after installing and configuring everything Apache won't accept my LoadModule entry for PHP. I've checked the docs... Hmmm... I'm sure I did everything right... It took a few hours of investigation before I read in the PHP install text that the installation procedure was for  Apache Webserver 2.0.x. And so... I downgraded to Apache 2.0.59 and voila! Everything worked perfectly and I can now see a nice php info screen on my browser!

PHP to Java conversion? I think that would not be a straight port. There are designs that work well with PHP but when you convert to Java it would perform terribly. I guess a popular example of this would be the Friendster of a couple of years ago...they started with a Java-based system but it was soooo slow. They moved to PHP and it worked great. Maybe their programmers are more used to the PHP way of doing things so they designed the Java-based system the way they would a PHP-based system, and failed.

Yeah, I agree. Though some parts of their new system is still in PHP and would stay like that for quite sometime... Most are aready ported to Java. I have many worries in mind since the client's company is very immature... Well, until I see the things that they've already done, I am in no right to say that they've made a pretty big mistake...

hmmm.. i think they fired a bunch of guys that cleared the way for PHP programmers including the famous girl blogger who disclosed the secret to the web(i think she got fired after 3 weeks)
