• Verify server root directory path at part:

DocumentRoot "${SRVROOT}/htdocs"

• Check if PHP path is correct at those lines:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
LoadModule php7_module "C:/Program Files/php-7.3.8_x64/php7apache2_4.dll" 
PHPiniDir "C:/Program Files/ php-7.3.8_x64" 

• Check php configuration:
  • Navigate to file: “C:\Program Files\php-7.3.8_x64\php.ini”
  • Verify if paths are set correctly:
    • session.save_path = “C:\Apache24x64\tmp\”
    • extension_dir = “C:\Program Files\php-7.3.8_x64\ext”
  • If you would like to use LDAP(S) go to chapter “Set LDAPS authentication” on page 3.

• Stop Apache if running
• Run command prompt in admin mode
• Navigate to folder: “Apache24x64\bin\”

httpd.exe -k install -n "Apache24x64_niota"

• Open 'Local Services' window
• Right click on Apache2.4 → Properties → Log On tab → fill 'This account' form

httpd.exe -k uninstall -n "Apache24x64_niota”

When the following three dll file are differs in Apache24/bin folder than the ones in PHP folder it raises ldap extension error:

• libssl-1_1-x64.dll
• libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
• libsasl.dll

These files must be copied from PHP root folder into Apache24/bin folder. It is recommended to back up original files of Apache.
