Bug #68646 [Nab]: Cannot load pgsql extension

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68646&edit=1 ID: 68646 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk Summary: Cannot load pgsql extension Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: PostgreSQL related Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.6.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Also, from what i see in the bug #68645 - ext with different SAPI, and - as you told you was doing an overwrite. That probably something on shouldn't do. Yes, you might be able reuse the php.ini (but check also), but don't do overwrite - replace the dir. I'd advise you to start from backing up your old f:\php5 and extracting new fresh zipball, then putting the old/revisited php.ini in there. Thanks. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-12-25 11:44:41] ab@php.net With this you see that the pgsql ext itself isn't broken. You need to revisit your configuration under Apache. Please note, that Apache does chroot away from the php dir. So check what you have on the %path% when Apache starts. Also ensure that php.ini has correct path to the extension_dir.

Please do the following cd <5.6 folder path> php -n -d extension_dir=ext -d extension=php_pgsql.dll -m do you see the pgsql ext loading? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-12-24 15:12:54] tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk No, I did not edit the wrong php.ini file. I did not edit any file at all as I already had a working PHP installation. All I did was overwrite my 5.5.18 installation with the files for 5.6.4, and the pgsql extension simply stopped working. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-12-24 13:00:30] ab@php.net @tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk, it doesn't really help to open a new ticket if you gave no feedback in the previous one. Please check what requinix was asking you there, then lets see further.
