Shibboleth-Apache HTTP server- not loading mod_shib_24.so

[uday.chandra.kumar]

Hi, 

We are trying to configure Shibboleth as service provider for my ESO
configuration on Windows Server (64bit) with Apache HTTP server 2.4. When I
try to load shibboleth module 'mod_shib' with Apache HTTP server, the server
doesn't start at all and below error message is logged with MS Event viewer: 

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 174 of C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot
load C:/opt/shibboleth-sp/lib/shibboleth/mod_shib_24.so into server: The
Apache service named is not a valid Win32 application. 

On line 174 of httpd.conf file, we have: 
LoadModule mod_shib C:/opt/shibboleth-sp/lib/shibboleth/mod_shib_24.so 

We have installed Shibboleth SP as well as Apache HTTP server 2.4 of 64 bit
version only. But even after that, error message from Apache HTTP server is
considering the mod_shib_24.so file as a Win32 application file. This is
strange and we are struck at this point. 

We tried loading below library files into Apache HTTP server as well (as
suggested by a fellow user of ApacheLongue)

shibsp-lite3_0.dll 
xerces-c_3_2.dll 
xmltooling-lite3_0.dll 
 
We did so by including below lines in httpd.conf file of Apache HTTP server:
 
LoadFile "C:/program files/shibboleth/sp/lib/shibsp-lite3_0.dll"
LoadFile "C:/program files/shibboleth/sp/lib/xerces-c_3_2.dll"
LoadFile "C:/program files/shibboleth/sp/lib/xmltooling-lite3_0.dll"
 
But even after that we are getting the same error message. Please help us
with your valuable inputs on how to get this working.
