Steve, it might have been possible that your PHP installation was loading the libMySQL.DLL which is present in MySQL installation and not compatible with PHP MySQL extension. Solving this would have been easier by just ensuring that in the PATH extension C:\Program Files\PHP comes first. However the state you are in now, I am not sure. Try doing the below: 1. Uninstall everything whatever you have installed so far. When I say everything I mean everything i.e. Zend Server CE, PHP install, FastCGI etc. 2. Get Microsoft Web Platform installer and install PHP from there. This will configure everything for you. Please install PHP from http://php.iis.net/. Good Luck! Thanks, Don. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Ricketts [mailto:velocedge@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, November 22, 2009 10:04 AM To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: PHP info can't find MySql with IIS web server Funny you should mention Zend. I was looking through the posts and found a reference to it. I installed it but ran into an error right off the bat. So I signed up for the Zend forums and posted my problem there. I had copied libmysql.dll to windows\system32 but that didn't seem to help. So I uninstalled php and then installed the Zend server. Now when I run my phpinfo(), I get the fastcgi error and if I try to open localhost/ZendServer I get a 404 error from Apache... not sure why I have Apache now since I'm using IIS. Getting more and more confused all the time! ;-) sr "Sascha Meyer" <harlequin2@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:4B097BE8.5020500@xxxxxxxxx > Hi Steve, > > Steve Ricketts schrieb: >> I'm trying to install the latest version of PHP on a 2003 server running >> IIS.
