the procedure entry point ap_php_snprintf could not be located in the dynamic library php4ts.dll
and then I get other messages about missing dlls like:
Unknown(): unable to load dynamic library 'C:\Program Files\xampp\php\extensions\php_gd2.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found
even though the files ARE in the directory 'C:\Program Files\xampp\php\extensions\php_gd2.dll'
The messages I get are about 6 or 8 of them altogether and I also get them when I restart the system (since the server is restarted at that time).
UPDATE:
the apache server does not start!
