PHP Configuration Problems Part II

[James]

Ok, PHP starts beautifully now. But MySQL is another story. When I
restart Apache I get the following error message, which I copied from
the Apache error log:

[Tue Oct 11 21:35:17 2005] [notice] jrApache[init] JRun 4.0 (Build
91015) Apache 2 module - Jan 6 2005 15:25:33
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'c:/php/ext/php_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be
found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

My path is set as follows in php.ini:

extension_dir = "c:/php/ext/"

I also tried it with and without quotes and without the last / to no
avail. And php_mysql.dll does live in this directory. The original path
was "./", which worked just as well. Any clues?

Have you remembered to copy libmysql.dll into the Apache2\bin directory?

I did not remember that. I didn't even find it in the documentation. But
it did the trick. You are a god (small "g") to me. :-)

I was having the same problem - see "MYSQLi problem in PHP - earlier on
in this newsgroup.
Thanks to David's help I upgraded to Apache 2 and copied the libmysqli
into the directory and it now all works for me!
Many, many thanks.
