Can't get GD running on Windows 2000

Anon

Hi there, I'm using version 4.1.1, and I'm trying to get the GD dll working. I have edited my php.ini file so that the extension_dir is set properly (even correct case), and in the windows extensions section, I have uncommented extension=php_gd.dll. I have restarted IIS5.

When I go to a php page, I get a windows message box, saying 'Unable to load dynamic library 'D:\Inetpub\Scripts\PHP\extensions\php_gd.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found.

This is the correct path and the dll exists in that directory. Can anyone tell me what to do now?

Regards, Ben

Try using unix style /

extension_dir = d:/inetpub/php/extensions/

I have that set ini my php.ini and can load the gd.dll just fine.

or alternatively, try using "quotation" marks around the win style path statment.

The php.ini and/or httpd.conf file chokes on invalid paths...

if its unquoted it expects a UNIX style path statement, if quoted it takes it as a literal string.

But be consistent... I have made all my references to win paths w/ "x:\path" and works. Especially if they have spaces like

"C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs"

vs.

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs

Would suppose that the truncated 8.3 style might work unquoted, but never tried it, ...just a guess.

Ben,

Did you ever get this working? I am having the exact same problem.
