the problem does not appear to be my session save path option in the php.ini its windows is not using a php.ini at all when I have the php.ini in c:\php\php.ini location.  I moved it to the windows directory and now I get Invalid access to memory location. error with php. any ideas?

I have a w2k3 server with php 4.4.4.  I have the session save path set in the php.ini but no matter what I change it to (set to c:\php\session atm) phpinfo shows no value, plus scripts like joomla show it as unwritable, but the internet user and system have full access to the session folder.  It seems no matter what i cahnge in the c:\php\php.ini file effects php (restarting iis after each change as well). any help would be appreciated.

I have php 4.4.4 working in iis 6, in the directions it says mysql extension is built into php 4.4.4, but I am unable to connect to a database, I am trying to install phpbb and getting [code] Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tidal\forum\db\mysql4.php on line 48 Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tidal\forum\db\mysql4.php on line 330 Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tidal\forum\db\mysql4.php on line 331 phpBB : Critical Error Could not connect to the database [/code] Any ideas what I need to do so I can get php connecting to mysql database using iis 6? thanks

ok, that is where I was confused.. well I just totally nuked php and apache, reinstalled, did what you told me and now its working, so thank you very much

Extract the contents of the zip to C:\PHP Now open the httpd.conf file for Apache And add this: [code]LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2.dll[/code] Now download the Apache2.2.x php5 module from from [url=http://www.apachelounge.com/download/mods/php5apache2.dll-php5.1.x.zip]ApacheLounge.com[/url] Extract the contents of that zip to your My Documents area. Copy the php5apache2.dll file to C:\php overwritting the existing php5apache2.dll file. Now read the readme.txt file encloded in the zip file for more installation instructions. You're done! [/quote] Again, thanks.. but I am missing something here, its seems sooo simple, but its just not working, you say the php5_module is in the root of php when you extract it, I have downloaded and extracted it 10 times now and there is no php5_module file in there.  What the hell am I doing wrong here, I feel pretty stupid right now lol... this is not that hard, but I am apparantly confused on this php5_module file.

[quote author=wildteen88 link=topic=104965.msg418981#msg418981 date=1156094484] You get it from from PHP.net. NOTE: PHP 4 or 5 currently doesnt support Apache2.2.x You should get the Apache modules with the PHP distribution you download from php.net. You'll have to download php4apache2_2.dll or php5apache2_2.dll from Apache Lounge in  order to get PHP to wokr with Apache2.2.x. Or downgrade to Apache2.0.x NOTE if you are on a unix based system you'll want the .so files rather than .dll files. [/quote] thanks for the help, but I am unable to find php5_module from php.net, or able to find apache lounge to get the php5apache2_2.dll this is what I have downloaded http://us2.php.net/get/php-5.1.5-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror and Apache 2.2.3 from apache.org This is on a windows box btw.

yeah, they are in the same directory, but I do not have php5_module file.. was told I get it from php.net.. I will look there.

I was just looking, there is no php5_module in the apache2.2/modules directory.  where do I get this? I imagine this is why apache won't start, it errors saying the specified module cannot be found.  Where do I get this module so I can use php with apache?

I just setup a windows 2003 web edition server, remove iis, installed apache, which was working fine, and then got and installed php 5.  Now though when I start the apache server it fails and in the event log it says The Apache service named  reported the following error: >>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 482 of E:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load E:/php/php5apache2.dll into server: The specified module could not be found The path is right though, I added e:\php into my windows path as well. these are the lines I added into my httpd.conf file per the install.txt for php LoadModule php5_module "e:/php/php5apache2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php PHPIniDir "e:/php" any ideas what I am doing wrong?
