problem with com and php

hi all,
i have this strange problem,
i am using apache2.2.x and php5.2.x ,i call a php script which makes a
call to a com component which in turn calls functions in a cdll this
used to work earlier till i changed my server,now when i execute the
script in question it reports that the cdll that the com object calls
can not be found where as both the dlls are in the same folder.

any suggestions ?


TIA

What are the permissions on the dll and com object? And even though
these files exist, what about files they depend on?

the system user has full control on these files,these dlls do not
depend on any other functionality except the base windows dll

The system might have full control. But what about your web server's
userid (typically IUSR_machinename)? Are the dll's in your PATH?

But also, this isn't a PHP problem, but a windows setup.

jerry's post asks about the rights that the user IUSR_xxx has on the
files in question but this would only apply if was using IIS

Not necessarily. I've seen many Apache sites running IUSR_xxx as the
Apache user name, also. I do it on my development machine so I can
easily switch back and forth between the two and test without security
problems.

But no matter what id you're using, the question remains. And it's
still a Windows setup problem.
