apache - php 5 mysql connectivity problems

[ExpertWebHost]

hi

earlier i used to use php 4.3 with apache 2.0 (Mysql 4.1) server on my WinME box. yesterday my friend provided me php 5 and i wanted to experiment with it.

I installed php 5 (just extracted the zip file to a folder) and modified httpd.conf file to work with php 5.

Now php 5 is working fine with apache(<?php phpinfo(); ?> works fine)
. but none of the scripts using mysql are connecting. I did not change anything with mysql.

is there any additional configuration reqd for php 5 with apache 2(on windows) to correctly connect to mysql?

thanks for your time.

take a screen shot of phpinfo where it tells you about mysql extensions....

mysql extensions aren't compiled, you need to compile them, or download the correct version of php5....

[ExpertWebHost]

Ah. actually all the compiled binaries were already there..

here is what was missing in php.ini file..


; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "D:\Program Files\php50\ext"

by default extension directory was set to ./ only.

everything is fine now.

thanks joe and have a great day.

It's not healthy to run a public server on a winME PC.

I can't even dream of running a public server on my ME box. thats too with my dialup connection!

its just for my personal use.
