Ave, I recently configured & Installed PHP on my Windows Vista PC, running Apache 2.2 Web Server. MySQL 5 was also installed. Apache is running fine ­ mySQL is running fine ­ PHP is running fine. The problem is, I¹m getting this error when I try to run a PHP page which needs to connect to the mySQL Server: 'cannot load mysql extension, please check PHP Configuration'. I¹ve installed PHP on XP computers hundreds of times, so I¹m not exactly a newbie to this, but I¹m not sure if it¹s Vista causing the problem or I¹m doing something wrong. In my PHP.INI, I have the modules/extensions directory set to ³C:\php\ext² which contains all my modules (including the mySQL DLL and others). I also uncommented the mySQL Extension load from the PHP.INI file. I just can¹t figure out what the problem is. Do I need to copy the DLL files somewhere else in the system to make this work? Anyone else has this problem? Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rahul Sitaram Johari CEO, Twenty Four Seventy Nine Inc.
