Hi,

I'm not sure why you can't just install Apache and PHP for windows 
instead of using cygwin apache.  Use localhost:8080 for development, 
cygwin doesn't care what apache host is used.

If it's any use here is the corresponding apache version and PHP version 
from RedHat Linux 7.3 (Valhalla).  An old version of PHP might compile 
whereas a newer version won't compile:

Apache:
bash-2.05a$ rpm -qa | grep apache
apache-devel-1.3.23-14
apache-1.3.23-14

PHP:
bash-2.05a$ rpm -qa | grep php
php-devel-4.1.2-7.3.4
php-4.1.2-7.3.4
php-imap-4.1.2-7.3.4
php-pgsql-4.1.2-7.3.4
asp2php-0.76.2-1
php-ldap-4.1.2-7.3.4
