Hi There, I recently installed PHP and have two things going on that I can't seem to rectify or solve. If I may use the collective knowledge of PHP users/developers on these groups I would be grateful. First some info on my setup: OS : Windows 2000 Server Webserver :IIS6 PHP : 4.3.10 (extracted zip version from php.net into folder "c:\php4") phpinfo() page : www.jikade.com/test.php The problems: 1) I want PHP to look for my php.ini file in the php folder (c:\php4) but it refuses to do so. Setting PHPRC doesn't help and this setting actualy won't show in the summary of phpinfo() in the environment section. I changed the PATH environment variable to include "c:\php4" but that doesn't help either. Putting the php.ini in the "c:\winnt" folder does work and then I configure PHP through this file. Otherwise it won't load *any* php.ini file and use defaults, or so it seems. What I want to accomplish is that PHP finds and uses the php.ini file that resides in the "c:\php4" folder 2) Some modules won't load, php_mcrypt.dll for one. I tried setting the "extension_dir" (extension_dir = "c:\php4\extensions") but that doesn't help. Copying the dll to the "c:\winnt\system32" folder doesn't work either. Some modules do load however (php_df.dll loads fine from the same location), it's just some modules that don't/won't. Examples are: php_mcrypt.dll, php_mhash.dll and php_xmlrpc.dll. What I want to accomplish here is that modules can load (obviously) :-) Any help on these matters will be appreciated immensly! ps: I used a MailExpire temporary email address to be able to post on this newsgroup. Don't know if that's a faux-pas around here but I tend to be realy carefull with my real email addresses on newsgroups due to spam problems. If people say it's ok to use my real email address then I'll use that one in future posts. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. -- Greetings, Steven Spierenburg -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
