    PHP5 installation problem (Win XP)

    Hi,

    I have been using PHP4 for a long time on my test personal web server on
    Windows XP Pro. Yesterday I decided to migrate to PHP5. I downloaded
    binary installation of PHP 5.2.3 as a zip archive. I have unpacked it to
    D:\PHP directory. I have created a "path" entry targeting this directory
    in system variables and rebooted the system. I have modified php.ini
    appropriately using 'php.ini-recommended' as a starting point. I have
    changed "extentions " to "ext" in php.ini too. I have disabled all
    extensions in php.ini for initial start (testing purpose).
    I have pointed ISAPI filters section of IIS configuration to
    D:\Php\php5isap i.dll and resterted IIS service. The library has loaded
    properly as indicated with green arrow on the IIS console.

    Unfortunately, while running info.php I only get the following message
    in the browser:

    "The specified module could not be found."

    The actual page source is as follows:

    <html><head><ti tle>Error</title></head><body>The specified module could
    not be found. </body></html>

    There is no other error message despite error reporting switched on:

    error_reporting = E_ALL
    display_errors = On
    display_startup _errors = On

    Can you give me any clue how to debug the problem?

    Regards,
    Ziggi

      One thing to check is if you have any old DLLs such as php4ts.dll from
      a previous PHP install in your path or in %WinDir%. These should be
      removed.

          It was removed - the problem is not linked to this!

              An another reason could be a left over php.ini of the previous PHP 4
              installation inside your windir (C:\WINDOWS\). If so, remove it or
              replace it with the new php.ini and restart IIS.

                      I suppose PHP tries to load something, maybe you can find it out using
                      Dependency Walker (see http://www.dependencywalker.com/).
