php.ini not working / DLL extensions won't load

[paulfp]

Hi, I'm having trouble getting my extensions to load on IIS7, Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit).

 

My php.ini file (in C:\WINDOWS) has the php_gd2.dll and php_mysqli.dll lines uncommented, and has this line:

 

extension_dir = "c:\php\ext"

 

and I've given Full Control permissions to IUSR and IIS_IUSRS, as well as adding the PHP directory (and the ext directory, just to make sure) to the PATH variable in Windows.

 

I'm wondering if it might be a problem with IIS accessing the php.ini file, because I tried turning off the short <? tags (which my pages use) to see if this broke the pages, but it had no effect. That's the easiest way I could think of to check that the php.ini file is being effective.

 

If anyone else has any ideas then I'd be grateful for some assistance.

 

Many thanks
