PHP info can"t find MySql with IIS web server

am 22.11.2009 18:01:00 von Steve Ricketts

I'm trying to install the latest version of PHP on a 2003 server running
IIS. PHP runs fine but when I run phpinfo(), it doesn't find MySql. At the
end of my php.ini file I have:

[PHP_MYSQL]
extension=php_mysql.dll

And

extension_dir = "c:\progra~1\PHP\ext"

In my path variable I have:
c:\progra~1\PHP;c:\progra~1\PHP\ext;c:\progra~1\MYSQLS~1.1\b in;

Can anyone tell me what else I need to do to get PHP to recognize MySql?

Many thanks,

Steve

Please check if libmysql.dll is somewhere in your path or in a location
like C:\windows\system32. I ran into similar problems with my local IIS
installation where IIS could not find libmysql.dll and that solved it.
It's always a good idea to set "error_log" to syslog in your php.ini and
check your eventlog if there are any PHP-related entries when you
restart your server.

If you just started configuring the server, take a look at ZendServer CE
(Community Edition) [1], because it comes with some extra
functionality and I never had any problems loading an extension with
ZendServer. It's free, runs with both Apache and IIS and comes bundled
with Apache2 if you don't have an installed web server.

Best regards,

Sascha

Funny you should mention Zend. I was looking through the posts and found a
reference to it. I installed it but ran into an error right off the bat.
So I signed up for the Zend forums and posted my problem there.

I had copied libmysql.dll to windows\system32 but that didn't seem to help.
So I uninstalled php and then installed the Zend server. Now when I run my
phpinfo(), I get the fastcgi error and if I try to open localhost/ZendServer
I get a 404 error from Apache... not sure why I have Apache now since I'm
using IIS. Getting more and more confused all the time! ;-)

I would suggest to simply uninstall what you have used so far and
install PHP using the Web platform installer (as you use IIS). It will
install everything you need in one go and relies on windows.php.net
binaries (it uses our installer but passes the right options
directly). You can fetch it here http://www.microsoft.com/web/

Steve, it might have been possible that your PHP installation was loading t=
he libMySQL.DLL which is present in MySQL installation and not compatible w=
ith PHP MySQL extension. Solving this would have been easier by just ensuri=
ng that in the PATH extension C:\Program Files\PHP comes first. However the=
state you are in now, I am not sure. Try doing the below:
1. Uninstall everything whatever you have installed so far. When I say ever=
ything I mean everything i.e. Zend Server CE, PHP install, FastCGI etc.
2. Get Microsoft Web Platform installer and install PHP from there. This wi=
ll configure everything for you. Please install PHP from http://php.iis.net=
/.

Good Luck!

Thanks,
Don.

I'm in the process of uninstalling everything per Pierre's recommendations
and going to install from the Web Platform installer. However, I'm a bit
confused by your last comment. You said, "Get Microsoft Web Platform
installer and install PHP from there" but then the last sentence was "Please
install PHP from http://php.iis.net"... With Platform installer installing
PHP, why would I need to install again from php.iis.net?

Many thanks for the clarification. I've gone to the Web Platform Installer
and installed PHP. However, when I run my info.php (phpinfo()), I get a 404
error. Looking at the mappings extensions there is no .php extension
defined. Shouldn't the installer have configured that?... or do I need to
make a manual entry of some kind.

Thanks again for all the help,

Installer should have done it. I am not sure how appropriate is this DL to =
discuss all this. Can you post your problem in http://forums.iis.net/1102.a=
spx. I will reply there.

Let's not flood people's email with unnecessary mails.

You can also do PHP install troubleshooting using http://blogs.iis.net/donr=
aman/archive/2009/11/15/troubleshooting-php-installation-on- windows.aspx.

I will wait for you on the PHP forum for IIS.

Many thanks for the clarification. I've gone to the Web Platform Installer
and installed PHP. However, when I run my info.php (phpinfo()), I get a 40=
4
error. Looking at the mappings extensions there is no .php extension
defined. Shouldn't the installer have configured that?... or do I need to
make a manual entry of some kind.

Thanks again for all the help,

I disagree with this. I find the web platform installer to be =

I would suggest to simply uninstall what you have used so far and =
install PHP using the Web platform installer (as you use IIS). It will =
install everything you need in one go and relies on windows.php.net =
binaries (it uses our installer but passes the right options directly). =
You can fetch it here http://www.microsoft.com/web/

I don't think it's outside the scope of this list, as WPI is just one
method of installing PHP and this proves my point and the reason why I
don't use the WPI.=20
