php.ini problem

[OrdinaryGuy]

We recently deployed a Windows 2003 web server to host client sites. We installed PHP and it worked fine, customers were using it without a problem. Then today a customer complained that GD was not working so we proceeded to uncomment the "extension=gd2.dll' line in C:\windows\php.ini.

Suprisingly after doing that, all PHP scripts no longer executed, they were timing out! Commenting that line solved the problem.

What are we doing wrong? How do we get GD to work?

Is your extensions directory set to the right folder? PHP is probably bombing while looking for that extension...

[OrdinaryGuy]

Where should it be?
It is in the C:\php folder

[LordShryku]

The extensions directory is usually in C:\yourPHPinstallFolder\extensions

Ok, in php.ini I had to set:
extension_dir=c:\php\extensions

worked then
