Apache not loading the dll's

[MrBiggZ]

Greetings!

 

OK this is to be my dev server (Apache2.2 (lastest) and php5 (;astest) and yes the server does work other then this)!  In my php.ini file I have:

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
; http://php.net/extension-dir
; extension_dir = "./"
; On windows:
  extension_dir = "c:\PHP\ext\"

 

I all have a system path set up in Windows to C:\PHP

 

down a bit in the php.ini file I have:

 Windows Extensions
; Note that ODBC support is built in, so no dll is needed for it.
; Note that many DLL files are located in the extensions/ (PHP 4) ext/ (PHP 5)
; extension folders as well as the separate PECL DLL download (PHP 5).
; Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.
;
extension=php_bz2.dll
extension=php_curl.dll
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_gettext.dll
;extension=php_gmp.dll
;extension=php_intl.dll
extension=php_imap.dll
;extension=php_interbase.dll
;extension=php_ldap.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_exif.dll      ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
;extension=php_oci8.dll      ; Use with Oracle 10gR2 Instant Client
;extension=php_oci8_11g.dll  ; Use with Oracle 11g Instant Client
extension=php_openssl.dll
;extension=php_pdo_firebird.dll
;extension=php_pdo_mssql.dll

;extension=php_pdo_odbc.dll
;extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll
;extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll
;extension=php_pgsql.dll
;extension=php_phar.dll
;extension=php_pspell.dll
;extension=php_shmop.dll

; The MIBS data available in the PHP distribution must be installed. 
; See http://www.php.net/manual/en/snmp.installation.php 
;extension=php_snmp.dll

extension=php_soap.dll
extension=php_sockets.dll
;extension=php_sqlite.dll
;extension=php_sqlite3.dll
;extension=php_sybase_ct.dll
extension=php_tidy.dll
;extension=php_xmlrpc.dll
;extension=php_xsl.dll
extension=php_zip.dll

 

Granted I probably don't need some of these but hey!

 

Now my apache error log says this:

FYI my php.ini file resides in the root of the apache installation.  I'm confused!

I all have a system path set up in Windows to C:\PHP

In order for the new system path to take affect you need to restart your computer.

Not to be a smarty guy!  I already did that before I posted.  But thanks for the input.

The extensions php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll require an external library called libmysql.dll in order to load properly. This file should be in C:/PHP can you confirm that file is present? If that file does not exist then I guess you used the PHP installer

 

If you did use the installer go to php.net and download the zipped binaries version of PHP 5.2.17 and extract the contents of this zip to C:/PHP overwriting any existing files. The installer never installs all the required files for extensions to load properly. The zip file contains all required external libraries for most of the extensions.

 

After unzipping restart the Apache service.

Here the files are.  No I did not use the installer.

 

C:\PHP>dir lib*

Volume in drive C is 1TB

Volume Serial Number is 5C6D-FB2A

 

Directory of C:\PHP

I've done this before on a linux box and never had problems like this! Very strange!  Once again .. strange requires windows!

[MrBiggZ]

Ok .. this is odd!

 

I have solved my problem while back tracking for the third time.  My php installation is in C:\PHP I had C:\php in the windows environment variables path.  I changed it to uppercase and rebooted and voi'la it works!  Weird!
