#30465 [NEW]: Apache fails to load GD DLL but cli ok...

From: derek at netsimple dot net Operating system: WinXP Pro PHP version: 4.3.9 PHP Bug Type: Apache2 related Bug description: Apache fails to load GD DLL but cli ok... Description: ------------ Installation notes: - OS: WinXP Pro - PHP: 4.3.9 (and also 4.3.1) Installed via zip and windows installer (same result) - Webserver: Apache 2.0.52 The module (php_gd2.dll) I tried seems to load OK from the command line, but not from within Apache. I have read all the installation documentation, and also grepped yahoo and google for an answer. Nearly all the solutions mention the editing "extension_dir" in the php.ini file. I believe my config is appropriate to my installation...? The practice of copying dlls to the %SYSTEM% directory seems to have worked for some, but not for me. Anyway, this is not mentioned *anywhere* in the installation notes, so I don't think it's appropriate. Other things I have tried: - comment out the extension_dir directive completely I get a similar error but refers to C:\php4\... even after copying all the available dlls to that location.
