Installation blues

Hello,

I am trying to setup a dev environment on my Win XP Pro SP2 system.
I already have MySql Community server v5.0.24.
I install Apache server v2.2.8 with SSL on localhost.
I install PHP version 5.2.5 using the installer selecting :
MySql
MySqli

Installations work fine!

However, when I startup Apache, I see that it is unable to load the
mysql extension dlls.

I have lost 2 days trying to get this to work.

Has anyone managed to get this working ?

If so, would you be willing to share your steps. I do not realy want to
resort to one of those prebuilt, all-in-one, packages.

My real aim is to try and have a setup as close as I can to my ISP.

Hope someone can help.

Best regards
Simon

Hi Simon,

I'm the maintainer of the installer. Can you attach a copy of the
http.conf file?

Thanks,

John

You're probably having a mysql client library issue - something that the
php installer can't really help with...

When you installed mysql did you install the client library and put it
in your PATH variable?

Do a search on your machine for libmysql.dll - make sure you have a copy
of it somewhere, and make sure php can find it! This means if you're
using apache that you'll need to add wherever libmysql.dll is to your
PATH variable.

See http://php.net/mysql Installation on Windows Systems -> PHP 5+

Also make sure you don't have an instance of IIS web server running. IIS
and Apache can't run at the same time.=20
