Re: install question: idiot guide to apache and phph and mysql on win NT 4 - solved!

I copied the php_pdf.dll file from the apache/cgi-bin/php/.. directory to the windows/winnt/system32 directory (it was just a hunch) and behold, it worked brilliantly!! Thanks!!!!! Now I just have to figure out how to: 1- get mysql to work 2- get virtual domains to worl Peter

hello, i'm not an expert on apache/php for windows, so i won't go on the list so as not to pollute it with possibly wrogn answers. the following are generic troubleshooting things, not specific to your question. caveat emptor :). On Fri, 13 Apr 2001, you wrote: "Unable to load dynamic library 'php_pdf.dll' - The specified module could "The dynamic link library isqlt09a.dll could not be found in the specified path f:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\apache\cgi-bin\php;.;C:\WINNT\System32;C:\WINNT\system;C:\WINNT;F:\jdk1.3.0_01\bin\;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;." "Unable to load dynamic library 'F:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\Apache\cgi-bin\PHP\EXTENSIONS/php_ifx.dll' - The specified module could not be found." first check to see if you actually have those DLLs in your computer. use Start | Find Files or whatever you want to use. if they're not there, you'll need to find them somewhere on the web. or, if you don't need them, find an apache/php installer that doesn't require them. sorry, can't help you there. i work in Unix, i always build my own apache and php with all modules they need. the only time i installed on Windows, it worked like a charm since the module i was installing from already had everything it needed. if they're there already, they're just not in your path. do whatever needs to be done on your computer to put them in the path (there are different ways to handle this if you're on Win95/98, WinNT, Win2000 and probably WinME. i'm only familiar with the Win95/98 (edit autoexec.bat), WinNT (i forget exactly, but i can find it if i've got it in front of me). no idea where you do that in Win2000 and ME though. Another weird thing is that at the top of any PHP page I put there and run, it prijnts to the screen this: "X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.4 Content-type: text/html " what web server are you using? are you trying to do this in apache? if yes, you need to edit httpd.conf to tell it about php. that's easy, just search for the string "php" in httpd.conf and uncomment the relevant lines. it's pretty obvious (one line is Load-Module, the other is Add-Type). if no, then you'll need to find a way to tell the web server about PHP. either that, or you can (somehow) configure PHP to execute with -q, i.e., in "quiet" mode. that stops it from printing those two lines. but then you'll have to make sure on your own that the Content-type is set correctly in your web browser. feel free to quote any of this on the list if you think it might help someone else help you. good luck. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo tiger@kami.com http://members.xoom.com/TigerQuimpo
