Problems installing and configuring Apache MySql and PHP

[horowits]

I have just purchased the book “database driven website using PHP and MySql “ from sitepoint.

I followed all the instructions and downloaded and installed

MySql
PHP 5
Apache 1.3

I strictly followed the instructions for changing the configuration files but when I restarted the Apaches service I get the following error message:

“PHP startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘c:\PHP\ext\php_mysql.dll” – The specified module could not be found”

I looked in c:\PHP\ext\ and DID found php_mysql.dll there.

How can I fix that?

Thank you!

I think you have to move it into the php directory, as it is not loaded by default.

I had a similar problem, and by moving that .dll into my C:\php directory it worked!
