Httpd.exe Entry Point Not Found

Question

I needed to update my local version of PHP, so I htdocs up my htdocs folder, reinstalled XAMPP using the Windows installer, and copied the backup.

I tried running the apache module to be greeted with path warnings. So I went through each instance of " /xampp/ " and changed it to " /Utilities/server/ " in httpd.conf and httpd-xampp.conf , which is very annoying since I have never done this before.

Now I get the error message:

The php_checkuid procedure entry point cannot be located in the php5ts.dll dynamic link library

The .conf files are very long, so I won’t post them here unless someone specifically requests them.

Answer 1

I understand that a dynamic link library basically associates a .dll file with a location. In your case, the location has changed, reinstalling php (or xampp) should fix your problem.

Another solution is to check your PHP.INI file for links to any DLL file and make sure that the links are correct in your new installation folder.
