PHP startup errors

[blue-genie]

i'm using pHP 5.2.1

after much effort i've managed to get it to work in IIS and it can pull data out of mysql database that was installed with xampp.

now the xampp has a php 4 in there - using that for other java/apache projects - cant remove it.

 

thing is - when i start up my machine or i restart the IIS service, i'm getting a whole bunch of PHP Startup error message, mostly to do with not being able to load dynamic libraries. I've configure the php.ini file in terms of the ext etc, set up my environment variables etc. can one of you phpfreaks help the phpnoob.

 

thanks.

sounds like there are multiple PHP Services entries trying to load simultaneously. If you have php4 and php5 installed, then one of the services needs to be removed. Go to computer management and in the services snapin, disable the php version you don't want. I can't remember the exact reg key that will remove the service from the services panel, but a google search should find it for ya. You may also be able to simply go to Add/Remove programs and remove it from there.

 

There is no need for 2 webservers to be installed, so I would recommend uninstalling IIS and just go with XAMPP as IIS is a pain in the "IIS" when it comes to permissions, no subdomains etc.
