Apache+win98+php4.04 installation prob.

Anon

Hi all,

I've just installed the apache server in Win98 and installed the php 4.04 afterwards, with referencing the install.txt file along with the php zip file. The apache is installed in the path as follow:
c:\program files\apache group\apache\
the httpd.conf is configured to run the php4 as module.

Afterwards the php4 is installed in the path:
c:\php\
and the php4ts.dll is copied to the windows\system directory.
The PHP works fine after the installation as a program with phpinfo() works.

But when I want to load some other dlls (extensions), error occurs. e.g, it shows "Cannot find the dynamic liberary : c:\php\extensions\php_mssql7.dll"

The php.ini file is modified as follow:
extention_dir = c:\php\extensions\
and the ";" is erased in
extension=php_mssql70.dll

I am sure the above paths are correct and there's really the php_mssql70.dll presents in c:\php\extensions.

Anyone get the idea? It'll be a big help if someone can post a solution here. Thanks.

All the dll extensions in the C:\php\extensions\ directory need to be copied to the C:\windows\system directory aswell !

Hope this helps!!!

Also I have a question for you -=- I just recently transfered my system from Microsoft PWS to Apache, When I was using PWS, PHP was configured to run through php4isapi.dll and it worked fine, but now with apache the only way I knew how to was configure php4 as a CGI through php.exe. Do you know how to get my old configuration back? How did you configure Apache + PHP?

any solution appreciated!

Hi,

I've tried everythings, include putting all the dlls into windows\system, windows\system32, c:\ and the apache path and it still cannot work. But I think I've found out something. Maybe these dlls do not work in this configuration. As when I uncommented the "extension=php_imap.dll", it works!! However, when either "extension=php_mssql70.dll" or "extension=php_oci8.dll" are uncommented, the alert window pops up when apache loads.

And I just follow the instuctions of the install.txt included in the php folder to install the php as apache module. However, I think the following site may help you:

You may try his way to install the module version of php. However, only older versions of php4 are supported, not the up-to-date php 4.04pl1. But I think it's still worthy to try it out.
