#20854 [Com]: Unable to load dynamic library

ID: 20854 Comment by: olympic at dino-online dot de Reported By: pardy at freemail dot hu Status: Bogus Bug Type: Oracle related Operating System: Windows 2000 Server PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Some people here seem to be very ignorant to this PHP-bug (!!). On a w2k server (With servicepacks and IE6.x installed) you cant run the php distribution because most extension dlls have a dependency to apphelp.dll. Easy to say "its a windows problem" (I know that the dependency comes from a windows dll SHLWAPI.DLL) - but you expect a software that is marked to run with w2k to work... I know that php isn't a comercial product but this does not mean that developers should stop investigating a bug report when they find a MS-dll that they didnt write... For "normal" users there is no workaround without help from php developers and changes to the distribution. Noone here is asking a "support question" its a bug or remove "runs on windows 2000 server" Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-12 05:03:03] giunta dot gaetano at sea-aeroportimilano dot it I had exactly the same headache with Oracle9 client. The funniest thing is Apache was running fine in exactly the same PC. It actually is a pbl related to IIS confioguration. The solution is: in IIS uncheck the "let IIS validate anon user password" in anoun user auth panel. Rationale: check out reports 216828 e 218756 on MSDN. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-07 02:35:34] pardy at freemail dot hu Ok, I have posted the problem description to php-db-help@lists.php.net. Please answer me there. By the way I still don't know why this isn't a bug in php. Maybe I don't understand what "php itself" means. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-06 18:35:45] sniper@php.net This is not a support forum. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-06 06:55:40] pardy at freemail dot hu How can you be so sure that this is not a bug in php? I mean everything else seems ok. Then you must know where the problem is. What about telling me? Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-06 06:25:33] sniper@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions.
