php_mcrypt.dll - access denied??

[CaptSaltyJack]

I'm running a WIMP server (unfortunately I'm stuck with it.. work dictates this). It works fine, but mcrypt won't work. I have extension=php_mcrypt.dll in my php.ini. Whenever I try to use mcrypt functions, I get a warning message that says it couldn't load the library php_mcrypt.dll, "access denied."

Anyone know what might cause this??

Do a phpinfo() and check the value of ext_dir. Then verify that php_mcrypt.dll exists in that directory.

Also verify that the main PHP folder (e.g. c:\php) has been added to your system's PATH environment variable.

If the error message is "access denied", try checking the file permissions of the .dll file - verify that the user that the webserver is running under (I'm not familiar with WIMP) has read/execution rights on that file (and probably the entire PHP directory while you're at it).

Thanks for the tips.. believe it or not, I tried all that 🙂 None of that worked. I'm completely stumped. However, I haven't tried looking for the ext_dir value... I'll take a look at work tomorrow.
