Marcos I think the same message appears if the php_oci8.dll can't find the oracle client libraries. Do you have the directory with the client libraries in included in your path? Which client are you using? the full one, or the instant client? Paul -----Original Message----- From: Marcos R. Cardoso [mailto:mcardoso@xxxxxxx] Sent: 27 July 2006 20:58 To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: php_oci8.dll I'm experiencing a disturbing problem with PHP 4.4.2, Win 2003 Server, Apache 2.0.58 and Oracle 9i. I've installed all the previously listed in a Web Server (though I've installed only the Net Client from Oracle 9i), but somehow there's a problem with the library php_oci8.dll Whenever I start the Apache2 service the following messages are written in Apache's error.log file: PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\php\\extensions\\php_oci8.dll' - N\xe3o foi poss\xedvel encontrar o m\xf3dulo especificado.\r\n in Unknown on line 0 [Thu Jul 27 14:49:55 2006] [notice] Apache/2.0.58 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.0.55 OpenSSL/0.9.8b PHP/4.4.2 configured -- resuming normal operations [Thu Jul 27 14:49:55 2006] [notice] Server built: Apr 29 2006 17:47:10 [Thu Jul 27 14:49:55 2006] [notice] Parent: Created child process 1460 PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\php\\extensions\\php_oci8.dll' - N\xe3o foi poss\xedvel encontrar o m\xf3dulo especificado.\r\n in Unknown on line 0 [Thu Jul 27 14:49:56 2006] [notice] Child 1460: Child process is running [Thu Jul 27 14:49:56 2006] [notice] Child 1460: Acquired the start mutex. [Thu Jul 27 14:49:56 2006] [notice] Child 1460: Starting 250 worker threads. *The message in portuguese means "It wasn't possible to find the specified module." In the php.ini file I've used the following settings: extension_dir = "C:\php\extensions" extension=php_gd2.dll extension=php_java.dll extension=php_ldap.dll extension=php_mbstring.dll extension=php_oci8.dll extension=php_openssl.dll extension=php_pdf.dll extension=php_zip.dll I've tried to copy the php_oci8.dll to the c:\windows\system32 folder but I had no success either. And the environment variable PATH contains the "c:\orant\bin" which contains the libraries used by Oracle to connect to the database. So, php_oci8.dll is the only library which is causing problems and I still couldn't find why. TIA -- Marcos R.
