Problem installing PHP in hyper-v environment

[leachus2002]

Hi All,

 

It looks like I am having problems loading the php_mssql.dll extension on my PHP installation, but only when I run it up in my hyper-v virtual environment. As a test, I ran up a vanilla install of 2003, R2, SP2 using IIS and installed PHP using the following method:

 

• Unzipped PHP-5.2.13-Win32 into C:\PHP
  
• Added C:\PHP into the windows path
  
• Added the php5isapi.dll extension into web service extensions and ISAPI mappings in IIS
  
• Created HKLM/Software/PHP/IniFilePath key
  
• Edited PHP ini file to show ext location, to show startup errors and uncommended mssql.dll and msql.dll ext's
  

 

 

Now in my VMware environment this is working just fine, and I can start up PHP with no errors and the MSSQL and MSQL dll's are loading ok - but in the exact same environment on my hyper-v virtual environment I am getting a startup error of "Unable to load MSSQL.dll - This module cannot be found"

 

I am running out of ideas - why would it work on 1 and no the other?

 

Confused.com!

 

Thanks

Matt
