Robin *********** PHP Manual - Manual Installation Steps User Contributed Notes: phpmanual at pbb dot dds dot nl (07-Oct-2004 02:29) Okay, I'm a total newbie to this, so my findings may be wrong, but this is what I found out. The manual says "do not have spaces in the path (like C:\Program Files\PHP) as some web servers will crash if you do". Indeed, when using this with PHP5 on WinXP, I got the error message "The specified module could not be found." However, the problem seems not to lie in the SPACE in the pathname, but in the QUOTES that Windows adds when a space is in the pathname! This is what I found: "C:\Program Files\php5\php5isapi.dll" -- doesn't work C:\php5\php5isapi.dll -- works "C:\php5\php5isapi.dll" -- doesn't work C:\Progra~1\php5\php5isapi.dll -- works "C:\Progra~1\php5\php5isapi.dll" -- doesn't work C:\Program Files\php5\php5isapi.dll -- doesn't work, because it's not accepted by Internet Information Services I don't know if this all is a problem with Internet Information Services or with PHP, but it would be nice if it was more documented in the PHP manual ************************** ""Edgard Berendsen"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Same problem here! > > I'm tired to install the MySQL extension in php with no success. > using: PHP 5.0.4 + MySQL Server 4.1 > > PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '.;C:\Archivos de > programa\PHP\ext\php_mysql.dll' - No se puede encontrar el módulo > especificado > > -I've read all the Internet searching for a solution. > > -I've copied to "C:\Archivos de programa\PHP" , "C:\Windows", > "C:\Windows\System32" the 3 files: > php_mysql.dll > libmySQL.dll > php5ts.dll > > - Uncomented extension=php_mysql.dll in "php.ini" > > - Uncomented extension_dir = ".;C:\Archivos de programa\PHP\ext" > > nothing worked > > I've installed PHP 4 + MySQL several times and this is my first PHP 5 > instalation > > Please help > > > > > > ""Robin Rembish"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribió en el mensaje > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >I am trying to install PHP5 with Personal Web Server 4 on a Windows 98 > > Operating System.
