#28255 [Asn]: DLL directory missing

ID: 28255 Updated by: goba@php.net Reported By: pburden98 at yahoo dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: windows 98 2nd Edition PHP Version: 5.0.0RC2 Assigned To: nlopess New Comment: None of them need to be put to system32 (according to our very latest install instructions, which are in effect in the manual sources since yestarday). Watch out for new manual builds coming out in the comings days or next week, or a bit later containing the completely rewritten windows instructions with more tips, information and an easier install method. The INSTALL file in the windows distribution probably still needs to be changed. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-07 01:01:53] steve at aquiel dot net Bring back the dll directory so we can see which ones need to be put into system32 ok it might all run from the one directory but as a sysadmin running it form that one directory involves changes to enviromental variables etc to get php5 working properly and please update your documentation to reflect any changes!!! the installation docs are far from easy to read ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-16 04:30:12] bradley at scrapcode dot com There is no dlls/ directory - the dlls in the root directory of php work, but without copying them to system32 during an upgrade, many problems arise. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-05 13:28:38] pburden98 at yahoo dot com I found another on line 181 of INSTALL. "Since PHP 4.0.5 MySQL, ODBC, FTP...and XML support is built-in." This is not true. I was told by a friend, "MySQL is not loaded because of licensing problems" Will you be patching the whole chapter "Installation of Windows extensions" on the INSTALL? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-03 15:32:19] nlopess@php.net I don't have karma to update the INSTALL file, but I'll make a patch for it and I'll update this in the migration appendix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-03 13:51:21] wez@php.net That's correct; we moved them to avoid the need to put anything outside of you PHP install dir, as that causes people many problems when they upgrade (they always forget to check their system dir). Making this a documentation problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
