Hi, I am trying to use php with libmysqld. I manage to compile php on windows 2000 with cygwin because I am used to deal with Unix systems. I have compiled php using --with-mysqli --enable-embedded-mysqli --with-xsl options (cgi version). Then I have tried the php examples in php-src/ext/mysqli/tests/ on a innodb DB that works. With a binary version of php 5.1.2 (doesn't include libmysqld) I can access to the DB without problems using this script (table test on database test is innoDB) : <?php $link = mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "", "test", 3306); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Echec de la connexion : %s\n", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } $result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT * FROM test"); while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_NUM)) { printf ("ID: %s Name: %s <br />", $row[0], $row[1]); } ?> But when I try with my own php with mysqli embedded (on the same DB and mysqld is down) with this script (just tring to connect) : <?php if (!extension_loaded('mysqli')){ die('skip mysqli extension not available'); } $driver = new mysqli_driver(); if (!$driver->embedded) { echo 'Mysqli embedded disabled'; } else { $path = "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/EasyPHP1-8/mysql/data"; $host = $user = $passwd = NULL; $args = array( "--datadir=$path", "--innodb_data_home_dir=$path", "--innodb_data_file_path=ibdata1:100M:autoextend", "--innodb_force_recovery=4", "--innodb_log_group_home_dir=/cygdrive/c/Program Files/EasyPHP1-8/mysql/logs/", "--innodb_log_files_in_group=2", "--innodb_log_archive=1", "--innodb_log_arch_dir=/cygdrive/c/Program Files/EasyPHP1-8/mysql/logs/", "--innodb_lock_wait_timeout=10", "--log-error=$path/testrun.log" ); $driver->embedded_server_start(TRUE, $args, NULL); var_dump($driver); $driver->embedded_server_end(); } ?> I'm getting a seg fault : $ php test_embedded.php 060405 10:35:26 [Warning] Setting lower_case_table_names=2 because file system for /cygdrive/c/Program Files/EasyPHP1-8/mysql/data/ is case insensitive Segmentation fault (core dumped) On the log file (testrun.log) I get this error : InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot read from file. OS error number 17. InnoDB: Error: tried to read 16384 bytes at offset 0 0. InnoDB: Was only able to read -1. I've checked the permissions, everyone has the rights to write/read/execute all the files (on windows/cygwin) Both php (compiled and binary version) have the same innodb options... So what's going on ? Is my own php miss configured ?
