Hi there,
This is the third day what I trying to install apache with php so I think I need help.
Today Apache 2.4 and PHP5.4 on Win XP works but without any extensions which I would like to have.
Ext dir is ok and contains required files. I know that I need to load "some" dll files "somewhere", but I don't know where I can finf them and where should I load them.. In PHP and Apache folders I can´t find any of this files. Can you tell me where I can find them and where to load them? Thank you very much.
In error log is written:
Code:

How is the path of your extdir? Full path?

Check the extension_dir setting in your php.ini

I am sorry that I was no responding, I am sick...

Here si a part of php.ini which describes ext dir:
Code:
doc_root =

; The directory under which PHP opens the script using /~username used only
; if nonempty.
; http://php.net/user-dir
user_dir =

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
; http://php.net/extension-dir
; extension_dir = "./"
; On windows:
extension_dir = "ext"


I thought that the engine takes it as a relative path. Doesn´t he?

EDIT:
I found here the same problem: http://www.codingforums.com/archive/index.php/t-224342.html
Acording that link I tried to find the libmySQL.dll file on a disc. I found it at the three places: C:\WINDOWS\system32; C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL tools for 5.0 and C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin
Is it ok?

extension_dir = "ext" Needs to be a full path like

extension_dir = "C:\php544\ext"

James:
YES!!! It works. But why it didn´t work with relative path? It was original setting from php.net.

Thank you very much!

To be a bit more portable it could also be:
extension_dir = "/php544/ext"

extension_dir = "ext" or "./ext" will work from within the directory where php.exe and php-cgi.exe are located, but things like php5apache2_?.dll are often located in apache\bin and then paths go astray.

I often experiment with using apache\bin as the home directory of php itself. I began doing that when I discovered I had to put some DLL's both in apache\bin and in php's directory. By joining those directories I could save space on a portable installation of Apache.

\PHP54\ext works too. But the php.exe php-cgi.exe and php5apache2_4.dll are in the same directory as ext dir. It means - I don´t understant how it works...

Why the fullpath? Cause the php dev made it so. When I asked them why, they told "for good reasons". I think it has to do that Windows usualy uses the files in %PATH% first. And to prevent loading wrong files (e.g. some people copied the dlls into C:\Windows\system32\ ) they force a full path.

It makes sense.
It would be good to php.ini had some coment to this directive. There is nothing about it.

PS: I have some dlls in system32 too. Should I remove it from there?

Little problem is that I don´t know if that dlls are from me or not. It seems like a older instalations of Apache. But I am not sure about it.

Then leave it as is. Binaries from AL or AH use the correct dlls and the PHP as you noticed, too.
