PHP5beta2 - anyone successfully installed in

[Useko Netsumi]

windows xp with apache2?

I follow all the instruction but I still got the following error when
starting the apache2:

The Apache service named reported the following error:

Cannot load c:/Apps/php5/php4apache2.dll into server: The specified

module could not be found. .

Well, out of frustration, I put everything in one directory, EXCEPT cli
directory. It works. Somehow the install.txt missing something ...

Anyway, the apache2 & php5beta2 are running ... BUT not quite.

All my MySQL apps stops working! The saga continues.

I did it, and actually i'm running both php 4.3.4 and php5 beta 2 on windows
xp with apache2 as http server
Of course they are running as cgi, not apache module
To install successfully as apache module, you need to copy both
php4apace2.dll and php4ts.dll in the {APACHE INSTALL DIR}/modules directory.
Then make changes in the config files and copy php.ini in {WINDOWS}
(first of all remeber to delete any old .dll's from php 4 in apache dirs or
windows and windows/system32 dir)
If you haven't make mistakes, you will only need to restart apache2

I think it's better to install php as cgi, even because you may have both
stable and beta version
Simply use 2 different folders (eg php and php5) and in apache config files
use standard extensions for php4 cgi and create a new php5 extension for
beta version
Remember to copy all the dll in {php}/dll to php path, to edit the extension
command in php.ini and, very important, do not put your php.ini in {windows}
but leave it in the same path as php.exe.
Thus you will have a different ini file for php4 and php5.
If you should have any trouble with mysql in php5 (i dont have any, indeed)
probably it's because you need to enable php extension for mysql in php.ini
and copy libmysql.dll in {PHP}path (ias i've done, but it is not a pleasant
solution) or in windows/system32 (probably the best way)

Everything shuld work fine (on my pc it does)

Hope this will help you

the php_mysql.so modules that came with php 5 distribution gave me an error
during startup. Where do you get libmysql.dll? Is it for the latest MySQL
version 4.0.x? Thanks

At any case, the apache2 and PHP4 now are running, but without MySQL
loaded. Perhaps you can tell me where to get the latest libmysql.dll or
php_mysql.dll binary.

You mentioned to run php in cgi mode, what's the different with running it
in Apache modules? Is it less/more secure, etc... Thanks

I found the libmysql.dll which is in the dlls directory ... but its not a
module extension for php. Just to let you know.

How did you get your php5/apache2/mysql4 running? Thanks

It's less secure, but the PHP module for Apache 2 is still experimental.
