This is some of the things I have done for integrate apache 2, php 5, mysql 5 alpha:
- make sure that php could run fine without the mysql support on.
- edit php.ini: extension_dir=C:\php\ext
- In c:\windows\system32, I have php5ts.dll only, nothing else related to php5
- in c:\windows, I have php.ini, nothing else related to php5
- in apache2/bin directory, I have libmysql.dll
- in php directory, I have libmysql.dll
- in php/ext, I have libmysql.dll
As you can see, I have libmysql.dll in three different places.
But i still have problem. The error message when i restart apache by Apache monitor Service :
the procedure entry point mysql_drop_db could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBMYSQL.dll
and then:
PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll"-the specified module could not be found
Let me one sugesstion!
