RE: [PHP-INSTALL] problem loading mysql dlls

I noticed you have c:\php\php524\ext in your PATH. I know Windows requires libmysql.dll (usually in the php binaries root directory, most likely c:\php\php524 in your case) to be in the system path somewhere [I usually copy to C:\WINDOWS on my local machine as I'm lazy).I would double check that this file is available in one of the system paths either by copying to C:\WINDOWS or adding C:\php\php524 to your system path.  I'm not sure if this will do a lot, since the same error should have came up for any version of PHP 5 since the MySQL libraries haven't been packaged since 5 was released.My small hope to helping from this point is that when changing the system path to reflect the new installation you didn't replace the old c:\php\phpXXX with c:\php\php524...Good luck, let me know how it goes.Andy Stratton, ZCECOMPASS Information Systems, Inc.1756 Belle CourtMillersville, MD 21108www.compassinfo.net(410) 923-6300 Office(410) 923-2820 Fax(443) 623-6835 Mobile ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Training for your IT Needs.Prepaid courseware, Customized Network, Database, Web Design, and PHP Training: http://training.compassinfo.net--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [PHP-INSTALL] problem loading mysql dlls From: Bob Newsome <bobn@servin.us> Date: Tue, September 18, 2007 7:06 pm To: php-install@lists.php.net I am trying to upgrade an Apache 2 PHP installation on XP Home from an earlier version of PHP 5 to version 5.2.4. The previous version was working fine. Now I am getting the following message when starting Apache: [18-Sep-2007 18:11:52] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\php524\ext\php_mysql.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found. in Unknown on line 0 phpinfo.php runs fine and returns the following Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS Loaded Configuration File C:\php\php524\php.ini extension_dir c:\php\php524\ext c:\php\php524\ext ENVIRONMENT Path C:\php\php524\ext;C:\rails-prod-win\ruby\bin;c:\ruby\bin;c:\program files\imagemagick62;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\; I looks to me like all of the paths for finding the dlls match. The php_gd2.dll is uncommented in php.ini, but it does not produce and error message and gd is enabled in the phpinfo.php output. I have reloaded the php directory from the zip file, but this does not help. What should I try next? Thanks, Bob Newsome
