Unable to load dynamic library './php_mysql.dll'

[Nancy]

Hi,

When I start my PC(winXP Pro), it always says: Unknown(): Unable
toload dynamic library './php_msql.dll' - The specified module could
not be found.

Then my Apache servre starts, load php module and works well.
I copied php_msql.dll to my system32 directory. Who knows what's
wrong? Thanks a lot?

Are you talking about msql or mysql? Here you say msql, the subject says
mysql.

You may need to set your "extensions_dir " in your php.ini
PHP searches for the file before including it, so adding it to your
system32 folder wouldn't make a difference, because PHP only searches
the extensions_dir. Normally in php.ini it is the same folder as PHP.exe

Got IIS running on your computer, perhaps?

If you are using windows try copying "libmysql.d ll" to windows/system32/
folder! this helped me :) This is documented in the install manual but is a
must!!!

Re: Unable to load dynamic library './php_mysql.dll'

Hi,
I am sorry, it doesn't work. The unable to load file is
php_msql.dll, not php_mysql.dll or php_mssql.dll. I am not sure this
file means MySql or MS SQL.
Thanks.

Re: Unable to load dynamic library './php_mysql.dll'

Hi,
I have my IIS runing on my PC at same time. IIS uses 80 port and
Apache uses 8080 port. ...?
Thanks.

Re: Unable to load dynamic library './php_mysql.dll'

Hi,
It should be php_msql.dll

Re: Unable to load dynamic library './php_mysql.dll'

Hi,
I don't know how to change this part, but I tried many ways, let
extensions_dir = "./system32" ; my php_msql.dll in this directory
extensions_dir = "c:/system32"
extensions_dir = "c:/php"
...

The strange thing is after showing two times this error message, my
Apache server starts and load php module, python module, mod_python,
works very well.
So what's the problem?
Thanks a lot.

Does that exist? '.' is 'current directory' so depends on context at
runtime...

Does that exist?

Is the file actually in any of those directories?

Typically it's c:/php/extensions.

Yes, there exists '.'.[color=blue]

Sorry, it should be
extension_dir = "c:/windows/system32"[color=blue]
>[color=green]
> > extensions_dir = "c:/php"[/color]
>
> Is the file actually in any of those directories?[/color]
Yes, most *.dll files in "c:/php/sapi"
So I changed it to
extension_dir = "c:\php\sap i"

However, it still doesn't work. Apache runs normally, just show
error message, so maybe I should forget it. I just wonder where is
wrong.

There exist many '.' directories, since it stands for current directory.
Current directory depends on context, so it's not a good idea to use that.

For what reason did you set it to that?
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]

In which one?
[color=blue]

That wasn't on the list you posted, so that would make the answer "No"... ?
[color=blue]

Why did you set it to that? There's no extension DLLs in there unless you've
seriously messed with your install.

If you're loading the php_mysql.dll or php_msql.dll or whichever one you are
actually trying to load, presumably it is to get access to the functions it
provides. If that error appears, none of the functions will work, so it's
hardly running "normally".

If you actually don't need those functions, then comment out the line in
php.ini that's trying to load it.

Have you tried setting it to c:/php/extensions yet? That's where it's supposed
to be.

Re: Unable to load dynamic library './php_mysql.dll'

Hi,
When I changed it to
wxtersions_dir = "c:/php"
It shows new error
"Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php4\php_ms ql.dll'..."
and,
"The requested operation has failed."

What's difference between php and php4?

Thanks a lot.

What's "wxtersions_dir "? Why are you setting it to "c:/php" ?

It indicates that what you've posted has no relation to what you've actually
done?

I am very sorry. It should be
"extension_ dir = "c:\php""
[color=blue]
> Why are you setting it to "c:/php" ?[/color]
Since you suggested me to set the extension_dir to c:\php and my
php.exe in this directory and *.dll files in c:\php\sapi (in fact it
is c:/php/sapi ).

Er,... this new error message appears because I changed
extension_dir of php.ini.

Thanks a lot.
