RE: [PHP] Can't get PHP extension to Load

It seems to me that if external libraries were required, they'd be in the PHP directory. But when I took the php directory from the production (non-working) server, and put it in place on the test server, it loaded the extension just fine. I'm going to, however, see if there are any differences between the components that are installed in IIS on the two machines. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Aaron Smith Aaron.Smith@kzoo.edu System Administrator (269) 337-7496 Kalamazoo College -----Original Message----- From: Sergiu Voicu [mailto:vsergiu@mediabox.ro] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 12:54 PM To: Aaron Smith Subject: Re: [PHP] Can't get PHP extension to Load Hello Aaron Check to see if this module doesn't require other external libraries, that you don't have on the production machine. Also try to use a debugger to see what calls are made by the apache server when starting. Sergiu Aaron Smith wrote: > I have a Microsoft 2003 server running IIS 6.0 and PHP > 5.1.2.
