Unable to load dynamic link library php_mysql.dll - Apache 2.2.6/PHP 5.2.6

[Christopher Koeber]

Hello,

I am attempting to perform a PHP installation on an Apache 2.2.6 web server
instance that is loaded on a Windows 2003 server operating system (R2 SP2).
I have a third party application that will reside within the Apache instance
that requires PHP 5.2.6 loaded with MySql support.

The installation of PHP succedded without incident (it was done manually)
and I can run phpinfo() to get information about the installation. However,
when attempting to load the php_mysql.dll extension I recieve the following
error message:

-------------
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
-------------

I have verified the following:

1. That I have set up the php.ini file (which resides in C:\php.
Specifically, I have set up the following as it regards to loading the
php_mysql.dll extension
- Set up the extension_dir variable: extension_dir = "C:\php\ext\"
- Uncommented the line that relates to the php_mysql.dll file"
extension=php_mysql.dll
2. That I have set up the http.conf file for Apache:
- The following lines were added:
LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/php"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .htm .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Is there anything else that I need to do?

Thanks for your time.

Make sure that php reads the correct php.ini.
Try to set display_startup_errors = On in the php.ini to track possible
problems at startup.

Do you have the MySQL client libraries installed, and are they
accessible to PHP (i.e. in your PATH statement)?

Yes, make sure libmysql.dll is in a directory accessible in the system
PATH environment variable, or the PATH that Apache uses. Restart
Apache after making the changes.

Thank you for the answer. I have created or set any other php.ini file other
than the default php.ini file that resides in the directory containing the
core php executables: "C:\php\"

Also, I have set display_startup_erros = on but did not find anything
different so far.

Anything else?

Thanks for the time.

[Christopher Kurtis Koeber]

The system does have MySQL installed and there is a client access library
assessable to PHP directly inside of the core executable directory of PHP:
"C:\php\".

The library I am referencing is libmysql.dll.

Anything else may cause this?

Thanks for the time.

The libmysql.dll file is directly in the C:\php\ directory. (This
configuration came with the extraction process; I never moved the file).

Any other causes?

Thanks for the time.

Is c:\php in your PATH statement?

Also, ensure you are changing the correct php.ini file - use phpinfo()
to find out exactly which one you are using.
