[ciapug] Compatibility[?] issue: apache2.2.2/php4.4.2/winxp

[laith preston]

I would check that the files referenced in the LoadModule commands are 
actually there.

it is possible that the installation actually put them in a different 
location even if the manuals give those as the correct lines.
sometimes the manual and specific releases can get out of sync in minor 
ways like that.
