Extension files not loading

[pdhb_1]

I'm trying to run Apache2.2.6 with php. However, I keep getting a long
list of error messages in the log file indicating that includes are
failing. For example,

"PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './ext/
php_sybase_ct.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in
Unknown on line 0"

I have changed the "extension_dir" line in the php.ini file every way
I can think of, including the original:

extension_dir="C:/PHP/ext"

and

extension_dir=./ext/

I have tried with and without quotes, foreward slashes, back slashes,
etc. Both direct paths and indirect paths fail.

How do I get php to find these files?

Thanks

Well, first of all, are you sure these extensions are there? And are you
editing the right php.ini (check the output of phpinfo(): what file does
it say it uses, and does your extension_dir actually alter if you change
it (and you restart Apache afterwards offcourse, php.ini is only read on
startup....)

Yes, the extensions are there, and the path being searched does depend
on how I set extension_dir.
The log file will faithfully reproduce the path I indicate in the line
reporting the error. For example,
extension_dir="C:\PHP\ext"

results in lines of the form:

"PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\PHP\
\ext\\php_sybase_ct.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r
\n in Unknown on line 0"

It's not just 'php_sybase_ct.dll' that isn't loading. It's a long list
of libraries that are present in the ext directory that aren't being
found no matter what I do. There are about 17 that aren't loading. it
could be that they all are failing to find external dependencies.

My issue is that php scripts are not being recognized. I believed that
it was because some of these include files were not being found, but
perhaps it is more of an issue with how I have apache configured.

Yes, if you can't load all of those extensions, you have a problem.

First of all, get rid of the extensions and get phpinfo() to work.
Verify you're working with the correct php.ini file and the proper
extension directory. Then try loading your extensions one at a time.

Remember you have to completely stop and start Apache after changing the
php.ini file. You cannot just restart it.

First of all, extension_dir should be an ABSOLUTE path to where extension
libraries are stored.

I have tried with and without quotes, foreward slashes, back slashes,
etc. Both direct paths and indirect paths fail.

Check the phpinfo() output to see the actual value of that variable for Your
scripting environment.

Hi,

Did you check filepermissions?
Can PHP actually read these files? (I don't think it needs more than
read permissions)
IIS -IUSR_<machinename>
Apache -nobody or apache or www-data (check which one first of course)

Erwin Moller

If an Apache module doesn't use those files it is not necessary to load

But it is the best way I found to ensure I have PROPER versions of DLL's
loaded into workspace. And shared database libraries are for sure used by
apache module - PHP handler. Through their extensions, of course, but again,
You have too few variants to do the job.

1. Place DLL's into shared folder, i.e. %SystemRoot%. Was recommended (place
php#ts.dll into C:/Windows directory), but WORST solution.

2. Add PHP location to %PATH% environment variable. Good enough but what if
You want to use more than one PHP version? I have time while I have shared
hosting with PHP4 and my local projects was written mainly in PHP5.
What if You have many versions of the required DLL? I have MySQL installed
along with PHP and they both have LibMySQL.dll in distro. Apache and PHP both
have OpenSSL libraries in distro. Which one will be loaded into process?
Highly depends on situation, but this ambiguity is unwanted and inappropriate.

3. Load libraries directly ensure that You have loaded what You need exactly.
Wasting server config but looks less ambigous for me.

The PHP extension will call for them to be loaded.

And in some cases failed with that task... LoadFile is intended to solve such
issues.

LoadFile does nothing to resolve problems caused by extensions. And, in
fact, it can cause more problems.

Third part libraries need to be available when they are needed. That
means they need to be available to the OS. The way to do this is to
include THOSE LIBRARIES in the Windows PATH (that's what it's there
for). For instance, if you want to use MySQL, then the MySQL bin
directory should be in the path. This makes it available to PHP,
command line utilities and even compiled programs which require it. And
no LoadFile command is needed.

You really need to learn how to *correctly* configure a system, instead
of taking the *expedient* way of doing things.

Open your eyes. Learn what you're talking about. Then come back when
you have a clue.

I'm not about to give you a complete course on Apache configuration and
everything else you have no idea what you're talking about. This is not
the newsgroup - and it's way too long for a newsgroup, anyway.

Please show me it in close - I can't see.

Open your eyes. Learn what you're talking about. Then come back when
you have a clue.

I'm not about to give you a complete course on Apache configuration and
everything else you have no idea what you're talking about. This is not
the newsgroup - and it's way too long for a newsgroup, anyway.

You want to use more than one PHP version? I have time while I have shared
hosting with PHP4 and my local projects was written mainly in PHP5.
What if You have many versions of the required DLL? I have MySQL installed
along with PHP and they both have LibMySQL.dll in distro. Apache and PHP both
have OpenSSL libraries in distro. Which one will be loaded into process?
Highly depends on situation, but this ambiguity is unwanted and inappropriate.

They are completely opposite.

No, they aren't. They are completely accurate.

So, according to Your solutions, I should add PHP directory in path, but it
is a very bad solution and i shouldn't do it...
Hmm... I'm stuck. Can You please solve this for me?

But it is the best way I found to ensure I have PROPER versions of DLL's
loaded into workspace. And shared database libraries are for sure used by
apache module - PHP handler. Through their extensions, of course, but again,
You have too few variants to do the job.

Nope. Learn to read. Then learn how to do things correctly before
suggesting others screw up their systems like you have yours.
