PHP Installation on Win 2000 Pro not working but Apache and Tomcat are 2

[b2phat]

Hi,

I sure hope someone here can help me. I spent the entire day yesterday and most of the evening setting up a webserver on my Windows 2000 Pro system.

I've got PHP 5.04, MySQL 4.1.12, ActivePerl 5.8.6, Java Runtime Environment, Tomcat 5.5.9, ZendOptimizer 2.5.10, MyODBC 3.5.11 and phpMyAdmin 2.6.2 all installed.

From what I can tell, all is working well except PHP and phpMyAdmin.

I added PHP to my path like this:

C:\Perl\bin\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\php;C:\Apache2\bin;C:\mysql\bin;C:\php\dlls;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ulead Systems\MPEG;"C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\MailFrontier"

I've got a copy of php.ini in both c:/Apache/Apache2/, c:/php and c://winnt directories. I've listed my user directory as c:/apache/apache2/htdocs and I've placed phpmyadmin in htdocs.

But when I try to view a php page I get an error or page cannot be displayed. On a couple of occassions I viewed the raw php data in my browser.

Also, when I try to add a php extension using "LoadModule" in my httd.conf file I get an error loading Apache telling me that "the file cannot be found" (but I've verified it exists - like php5apache.dll and php5ts.dll).

Can someone please help me figure out where I'm screwing up at?

Thanks in advance!

OH ... some more info that might help: when I go to

http://localhost/phpmyadmin

I get the following info:

cannot load mysqli extension;
please check PHP configuration
Documentation

And the documentation says:
[1.20] I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration". To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.

Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL" or something similar.

I have tried using both mysql and mysqli in config.inc.php (phpmyadmin config file) and either way I get the same error message. And in php.ini I have enabled the following extensions:

extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll

in your httpd.ini, in your apache->conf folder, add this line at the very end of the file:

PHPIniDir "disk:/path/to/your/php.ini"

example, if php.ini in you winnt folder:
PHPIniDir "C:/winnt/"

Notice the "/" slash.

Hi,

For some reason I couldn't stay logged in as B2Phat to reply to this.

I did as you said ... and I'm still not working. I'm so frustrated I'm about to give it up altogether.

I've followed the instructions to the very "T" at PHP.net .... and a few other sites as well (yep ... when it didn't work once, twice or three times ... I started over from scratch.)

I have the NTFS file system, but have granted complete (full control) to my server and php directories.

When I try to view a PHP file locally I get a blank screen. When I view source, I don't even see the php info .... just the head of a blank html document.

In frustration I tried to see if a "self-contained" web server would work ... and it did. I installed EasyPHP ... and it works without a hitch .... but it's NOT what I want. I've reviewed the settings in the httpd.conf file in the apache/conf folder of easy php and compared it to my conf file in my apache server root and there are no outstanding differences. Same goes with my php.ini file.

I'm at a COMPLETE loss.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Could this have anything to do with it?

I registered the php5apache2.dll but get the following error message:

"php5apache2.dll was loaded but the DLLRegisterServer entry point was not found.

DLLRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of php5apache2.dll may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it."

However when I use Dependency Walker to view my DLL Tree and dependencies ... everything looks okay except I get a message:

"Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module."

The module with the delay-load is MPR.dll (not in php) so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with my problems or not?

ANY help is much appreciated.

Take care.

Hi,

One last thing.

I have apache loaded as a service for all users.

When I click on the Apache Icon in my sytem tray and click to "Open Apache Monitor" ... in the bottom right of the screen it says:

"Apache/2.0.54 (Win32) PHP/5.04"

So .... I'm assuming that means that Apache KNOWS that PHP is there .... so why isn't it sending php files through to be parsed?

Thanks again.

Here's an interesting error message I'm getting in the EasyPHP phpMyAdmin interface:

"The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using multibyte charset. Without mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results."

Of course the mbstring php extension IS there.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with my REAL installation but thought it might be of some use in figuring out what the issue is here.

Thanks again.

Hi,

An update on this:

I ran a test on php from the command line by doing this:

cd\php and hit Enter. Then typed:
php -i and hit Enter.

I got the following output which .... I think SHOULD mean php is working ... so why can't I view the pages?

Could it be something as simple as "file types"? I went to see if php files were registered under "file types" and see that they are set to open in Dreamweaver. That wouldn't affect the actual viewing in my browser would it?

Thanks in advance!
