Yes, it does. Interestingly, I just tried modifying the extension_dir to use '/' instead of '\' as the directory separator, then I tried commenting out a different module (php_msql), and it hung Apache when restarting as well. So it appears that it's not just LDAP that's causing the problem -- it's all of the modules. Any idea what configuration setting other than extension_dir would affect loading modules in such a manner? -----Original Message----- From: C-omputerSolutions Webmaster [mailto:webmaster@c-omputersolutions.com] Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 2:22 PM To: iforce@canbytel.com Cc: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: RE: LDAP extension hanging Apache probably not helpful but does the php.ini extension_dir variable point to the location of the PHP extension dlls? e.g. c:/php/extensions/ At 04:59 PM 9/22/2003, you wrote: >Oh yeah, forgot to mention that in the post.
