apache php4 error: dlopen: Win32 error 193

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Javier,

The rebase that comes with the apache package is broken -- it corrupts
DLLs.  This is probably why you're seeing the problem.  Since postinstall
scripts are run by setup.exe automatically, there is no easy way to
prevent the broken rebase from running if you use setup.exe.  I can
think of a couple, but they are pretty complex.  The easier one is to
extract the postinstall script (usr/postinstall/apache-php.sh) to some
other directory, then use "tar --delete" to remove the postinstall script
from the tarball, and then run setup.exe again to install apache (without
running the postinstall script).  Note that for the last step to work,
you'll also need to adjust the MD5 checksum for the apache tarball (in
setup.ini).  As you can see, it is by no means easy.

You can also extract the DLLs anew from the tarball by hand and have them
overwrite the rebased ones, and then use "rebaseall" from Jason Tishler's
rebase package (follow the instructions in /usr/doc/Cygwin/rebase-*README).

Ultimately, the apache package should be fixed.
