Apache Unable to load dynamic library php_openssl.dll
As a windows user, sometimes you have to face and handle this kind of problems.
The error: “PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library php_openssl.dll. The operating system cannot run %1“, when you are trying to start the apache server in the error.log file.
Basically what this error is trying to mention that there is an issue with your php_openssl.dll and a possible mismatch with other depending libraries. To resolve this, follow the below steps:
1. Rename ’ssleay32.dll’ and ‘libeay32.dll’ in c:\windows\system32 to ’ssleay32.dll.old’ and ‘libeay32.dll.old’ respectively.
2. Copy ’ssleay32.dll’ and ‘libeay32.dll’ from your PHP folder to the system32.
3. Restart the apache webserver.
Even I resolve it finally , I can learn nothing from it. This such a damn rule(”copy the dll file from PHP folder to system32″) was made by Microsoft? I don’t know. You couldn’t find the solution even in php document. The solution was passed from one developer to another. But no matter how I can stay away this kind of damn things for a while.
