#29224 [Com]: DB Error: extension not found

ID: 29224 Comment by: dinojazz at hotmail dot com Reported By: marcschroeder at hotmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP PHP Version: 5.0.0 New Comment: I am having the issues as well. My php_mysql.dll is located in c:\php and php.ini knows this. I've moved libmysql.dll to c:\windows\system32 as well. On top of this all, the extension=php_mysql.dll in php.ini has been uncommented. Yet, I get errors when I try to have mysql/php things loaded in my webpage. It comes up with 'Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\php_mysql.dll\' - The specified procedure could not be found'. I've tried the suggestions like php_mysql.dll to c:\windows\system32 and all the stuff. Even moved libmysql.dll to various places, but nothing worked. I am kind of stumped here, looks like there's some heavy bug in there.

Regards, Tommy Ipsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-30 11:29:25] patrick dot allaert at belgacom dot be After the installation on WindowsXP/IIS of PHP 5.0.0 (stable) in c:\PHP\ and configuring the php.ini with: extension_dir = "c:\PHP\ext" I receive the following message: "PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\PHP\ext\php_EXTENSIONNAME.dll' - The specified module could not be found" for all extensions except: php_bz2.dll php_cpdf.dll php_curl.dll php_dba.dll php_dbase.dll php_dbx.dll php_filepro.dll php_gd2.dll php_gettext.dll php_imap.dll php_ldap.dll php_mbstring.dll php_mime_magic.dll php_ming.dll php_mysqli.dll php_openssl.dll php_oracle.dll php_pgsql.dll php_shmop.dll php_snmp.dll php_sockets.dll php_tidy.dll php_xmlrpc.dll php_xsl.dll All the other extensions result in the error above (of course, some of them cannot be loaded because of 3rd-parties dll missing like with oci8 but what about php_mysql.dll, php_mysqli.dll, ...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-17 12:33:40] marcschroeder at hotmail dot com Remark (3): commenting in the line "extension=php_mysql.dll" in php.ini does not help either ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-17 12:19:13] marcschroeder at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ I had installed the windows binaries php-4.3.6-Win32.zip, and the PEAR DB package worked fine. After installing the binaries php-5.0.0-Win32.zip, I got the error "DB Error: extension not found". Remarks: (1) Copying the file php_mysql.dll into the directory C:\WINDOWS\systm32 does not help. (2) Even if it did, there would be a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29224&edit=1
