#30465 [Bgs->Opn]: Apache fails to load GD DLL but cli ok...

ID: 30465 User updated by: derek at netsimple dot net Reported By: derek at netsimple dot net -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: WinXP Pro PHP Version: 4.3.9 New Comment: Hi Derick, Thanks for the quick response. I only have one php.ini file in the C:\PHP\4.3.9 directory and one in C:\PHP\4.3.9 - searched whe whole c: drive for them. The installation actually put the php.ini file in %WINDOWS% directory, but I moved it back to the 4.3.9 directory. According to the apache httpd.conf file it should be looking at the C:\PHP\4.3.9 directory anyway - that's where the config says to look. If I follow the installation instructions to the letter, and the installation doesn't work (ALL the dynamic dlls have this error), there's a bug. It's that simple, no?

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. Thank you for your interest in PHP. php_dg2.dll it says, i think you have two different php.ini files and did something wrong in one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-17 21:05:32] derek at netsimple dot net 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.
