The error Apache throws is “The requested operation has failed!”.

In event viewer, you will see something like:

Faulting application name: httpd.exe, version: 2.2.14.0, time stamp: 0x4ac181d6
Faulting module name: php5ts.dll, version: 5.3.1.0, time stamp: 0x4b051b35
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x000e618c
Faulting process id: 0xd90
Faulting application start time: 0x01ca81af664b1357
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php5ts.dll
Report Id: a40dce43-eda2-11de-9f0c-005056c00008

To cut a long story short, I went through each line of the php.ini file seeing which one was causing the problem. I narrowed it down to this extension:

[PHP_SYBASE_CT]
extension=php_sybase_ct.dll

Change to:

[PHP_SYBASE_CT]
;extension=php_sybase_ct.dll

Uncomment this extension by placing a semi colon in front, and Apache will load without any problem.
