Installation issues

[MrPantsTm]

so I'm using php5 since php4 doesn't want to communicate nicely with MySQL.

So MySQL needs the dynamic extension loaded. Fine. However, when I restart the server (IIS (not my choosing) ) it complains 'Cannot find 'c:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll' and doesn't start the server. I assue you, that the file is there. I've tried both / and \ with no luck.

Am I missing something? Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks.

Could be:
Are the access privileges set up correctly?
Do other extensions load correctly?

I don't have any other extensions loading. access control seems to be fine.

I tried loading php_bz2 and that also failed. I've moved the directories around now as well with no luck.

That looks like access privilege problems.
Be aware that IIS might run as a different user. Make sure that all folders down to the DLLs are accessible to that user.
