Hi, Insights on possible cause/where to look please... I'm getting nowhere with this problem : Recurrent crash of httpd.exe (Apache/2.2.11 (Win32)) due php_mysqli.dll (5.2.9.9) module (according to the windows error message) in the following contexts: 1. phpMyAdmin database login screen, username & password entered, Click 'Go' button --> httpd.exe crash... 2. Drupal web based configuration script - db setup - Drupal script attempts to connect to mysql database --> httpd.exe crash... System Configuration: * XP Pro * Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) * PHP/5.2.9-2 * http://localhost:8080/ * Clean installation of all above systems. * phpinfo() indicates mysqli module is up & running OK * php script to connect to mysql database via mysqli works OK * Apache service starts with no errors * Apache error log contains no hints * Apache webserver, PHP & MySQL are otherwise behaving normally I've verified PHP and Apache are happy with one another and that PHP and MySQL are happy bedfellows, but something is going wrong with the three-some... PHP-->Apache-->MySQL ain't playing ball... I've done several previous WAMP setups so I've some background here, but this has me stumped... have I got a release version incompatibility or something here that I just can't see? -- Regards Cormac (EI4HQ) [Shanghai/UTC+8] NNNN++++ http://ei4hq.shacknet.nu/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
