I set the php.ini to look for the extensions where you installed PHP

I copied all dlls from PHP diectory to WINDOWS/System32 directory and then it started running. But still I am not sure how PHP picks up the dll files. In my php.ini file I have set extension_dir = C:\PHP4\extensions\ so from this directory all dlls should be picked up then why I need to copy again all dll files from php directiry to system32. Onething I am assuming that Apache interpreter picks up dll files from c:\windows\system32 directory and php interpreter picks from C:\PHP4\extensions directory. This is just my guess. Weird ... not sure what exactly happens?

Apache does not use the php modules! There is no need to copy them to WINDOWS/System32 Apache is only complaining because PHP will not start. Where have you actually got php.ini? the default is in c:\Windows -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services
