IIS7, PHP 5, MySQL - Nearly there.

[mjlogan]

I have installed php5 on iis7 under a restricted user.

 

I am running php through the dll, and it loads fine and parses php files.

 

I have installed mysql, which is correct and functions fine.

 

But when loading a webpage in firefox,

 

<?php

if (function_exists('mysql_connect')) {
    echo "MySQL functions are available.<br />\n";
} else {
    echo "MySQL functions are not available.<br />\n";
}

?> 

 

I get that the functions are not available.

 

running the same file through command line, throught the exe,

 

I get that the functions are available.

 

I have tried changing as many permissions as possible.

 

IIS7 + PHP exe = Won't work, 500 error, something isn't setup correctly, can't work out what.

IIS7 + PHP dll = Works fine.

IIS7 + PHP dll + MySQL = nope. cant find mysql.

PHP exe (command line) + MySQL = fine, works as expected.

 

Anyone managed to get this setup working on IIS7?

 

Thanks

Are you loading the mysql extension in your php.ini?

 

Do that, restart the web server, and it should see it.

Yeah mysql is set to load in php.ini

 

Restarted it many a time, but it only seems to work through the exe through command line.

 

A web browser using the dll will not work for some reason.

Just to make sure.  Your restarting the World Wide Publishing (or whatever it is) and not just hitting the stop and play button in IIS right?
