#30465 [Opn->Csd]: 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: Open +Status: Closed -Bug Type: Apache2 related +Bug Type: Dynamic loading Operating System: WinXP Pro PHP Version: 4.3.9 New Comment: I've amended this to Dynamic loading, but it could just as easily have been 'Installation' (if there was such a section. Anyway, trying the cli/php.exe program produce an "point_safe_emalloc" error pointing to the php4ts.dll file. I copied the php/4.3.9/php4ts.dll to %WINDOWS%\system32 and was surprised to find a version already there from March 2004... Killing Apache2, making the copy and starting Apache2 seemed to fix the problem. Points to note: - PHP don't function without this file in the system32 dir. - The installation left the old version of the file in tact. Rgds, Derek Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-17 21:30:49] derek at netsimple dot net 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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-17 21:17:48] derick@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. 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.
