Cannot load many modules

[Anon]

Hi.

I've got PHP 4.0.6 running as CGI on Windows 2000 SP2 using IIS 5.0.

PHP is in c:\php, and the extensions are in c:\php\extensions

I've also copied the dlls to c:\winnt\system32

I've tried just about everything I can think of, but I just get:

PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '<path><name>.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

for like a bunch of different extensions, including domxml, dbx and mssql.

I have tried:
extension_dir = "c:\php\extensions"
extension_dir = "c:\winnt\system32"
extension_dir = "c:/php/extensions"
extension_dir = "c:/winnt/system32"
extension_dir = c:\php\extensions
extension_dir = c:\winnt\system32
extension_dir = c:/php/extensions
extension_dir = c:/winnt/system32
as well as commenting out this setting.

I have tried wrapping the extension lines themselves in quotes, adding a full file path to them, etc. However, nothing works.

php works fine so far other than this inability to load numerous extensions.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Eric,

The simplest things are the easiest to overlook🙂 Your extension_dir should read:

extension_dir = "c:/php/extensions/"

note the trailing forward slash. You were getting those error mesages due to PHP interpreting your path to, say php_gd.dll, as:

c:/php/extensionsphp_gd.dll

Hope this helps.

HI,

Thanks for your help. Actually my problem was that a number of "dependency" DLLs had to be moved from c:\php\dlls to c:\winnt\system32. This is totally undocumented in the installation docs, which is unfortunate.
