Event Id3299
SourceApache Service
DescriptionThe Apache service named <application path> reported the following error: <error message> before the error.log file could be opened. More information may be available in the error.log file.
Event InformationError message: ">>> <date and time> [warn] pid file <application path>/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run? <<<" - From a newsgroup post: "Apache creates the .pid files so that other processes on the machine can find out what the servers pid is prior to communicating with it. Obviously, when Apache isnt running, it doesnt have a pid and thus the file is deleted during a normal shutdown. 

CAUSE: That message means that Apache didnt terminate normally and the old .pid file was found when starting. It doesnt really hurt anything unless the reason Apache shutdown previously was catastrophic."


Following newsgroup post may help you.
Solution1:
1. LoadModule php4_module C:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
your php is installed on e:\
U should unzip it ti there.
if not copy the extensions folder to E:\php\php-4.3.1-Win32
and check for sapi and dlls folders they should be in
E:\php\php-4.3.1-Win32 too
