Hello,
I am having a weird problem with Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) DAV/2 PHP/5.2.9, running on Windows Server 2003. It was installed with XAMPP, from www.apachefriends.org, but I can't find anything in their forums.
We have a Wordpress MU installation on this server, and there is apparently some problem in the PHP code there that is causing the PHP child to crash. So far, well, not so good, but acceptable. Then Apache tries to restart the worker thread, if I understand correctly, but fails.
Here is the error message in the Apache error.log

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 95 of C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/xampp/apache/modules/mod_deflate.so into server: The handle is invalid.
I had this error first with the mod_ssl.so file, but since we don't need it, I commented out any reference to SSL in the httpd.conf file. And now we are getting this error with mod_deflate.so, which I definitely don't want to disable.
Any ideas?
