Odd behavior installing extension

Ben Hallert

Hi there!

I've set up PHP 5.0.5.5 on an Windows 2003 system running IIS (yes yes,
have I considered Apache? Unable, other factors at play).

I wrote a simple test PHP that does nothing but phpinfo(), and it works
great. The moment I activate mysql support, trying to execute the
script results in a perpetual wait until timeout.

I have read http://www.php.net/manual/en/install...extensions.php

My libmysql.dll is accessible to paths (copied to \Windows\ as
experiment to make sure.

My extensions_dir is pointed at my ext dir, and if I insert gibberish
into it, launching PHP gives an error, so I know PHP has found and
parsed the file.

The crux is that things go to heck when I uncomment
extension=php_m ysql.dll. Trying to run the test.php halts and goes no
further. If I comment that out again, everything works fine (except,
of course, for mysql).

Any thoughts? I hope I haven't left out anything boneheaded.

Regards,

Ben Hallert

Tell the "other factors" to cram it up their collective asses. Install
Linux or BSD while you are at it. :-)

Is everything (PHP and MySQL) compatable with your older OS? That would
be the first thing I would check. Maybe compiling PHP --with-mysql
under Cygwin would work. I'm not sure (I haven't used Windoze in years,
and never as a server) but it seems worth a try.

Sorry I couldn't be much help, but do consider my first suggestion. :-)

I wish that it were so easy to solve, but two things prevent this. One
is that the server is a shared machine with lots of hosted ASP that I
quite frankly can't spend the time to QA under a new environment, nor
would be likely to engender much friendship during the transition.
Another is that... something appears to be broken, and I'd hate to
just walk away from it.

That's why I'd like to know if anyone else has ever had a problem that
stopped execution (without error messages) when they added an
extension, or if anyone knew of this particular problem.

Thanks!

Hello!

I have a status update. The server is about 1,000 miles away, so I
just now found out that there's been an error message generated on the
console that wasn't visible over Terminal Services.

"PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\ext\php _mysql.dll'
- Access is denied."

In NT as an experiment, I gave Everyone read and execute permissions
for the Ext directory, but that didn't seem to help.

I searched the archives and found references to some people having this
problem with Oracle8 extensions, but those were solved by installing
the rest of the Oracle suite, a solution I don't imagine applies here.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
