easyPHP-DevServer 13.1 apache unexpected error

Question

I'm running Win 8.1 for 64 bit processor and installed easyPHP-DevServer 13.1 VC11 and MySQL 5.6.12 update.I'm trying to run it locally on my laptop. When I start easyPHP MySQL runs but apache log gives "unexpected error" and stops. I also get "MSVCR110.dll" is missing error. I installed the missing .dll but when I start easyPHP it still can't find it the .dll. The link for downloading the missing MSVCR110.dll is

http://search.microsoft.com/en-us/DownloadResults.aspx?rf=sp&q=microsoft%20visual%20c%2B%2B%202010%20sp1%20redistributable%20package

I learned on another forum to use the 2010 package not the 2012. I need an answer for getting easyPHP to find the .dll and how to get apache running.

Answer 1

I'll take a guess and say that you need to download the x86 version of the Visual Studio redistributable. Even though I'm running a 64 bit machine, only the x86 version of the redistributable worked for me (I only tried VS 2012).

After that, Apache ran with no further problems.
