There appears to be a bug with Apache 2.2.13 which I ran into on Windows Server. See the following bug entry: Bug 23403. Opening the error.log for Apache showed the following warning:

warn Init: Session Cache is not configured (hint: SSLSessionCache)

Adding the following lines to the httpd.conf fixed the problem:

SSLSessionCache "shmcb:c:/Apache/logs/ssl_scache(512000)"
SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300

Note: your Apache installation directory is probably different, so you will want to modify the above file path.

If you are running Apache 2.2.4 on Windows Server and try to load php_exif.dll in your php.ini file, this can cause Apache to not restart. The fix is pretty simple. You have to load php_mbstring.dll before php_exif.dll. For some reason, the default php.ini has exif listed before mbstring, which results in killing Apache on Windows.

My working set of extensions that I uncomment are:

• extension=php_mbstring.dll
• extension=php_exif.dll
• extension=php_gd2.dll
• extension=php_gettext.dll
• extension=php_mcrypt.dll
• extension=php_mysql.dll
• extension=php_tidy.dll

This works for me on Windows Apache 2.2.4 and PHP 5.2.3.
