Blank Page

[bkennedy]

no, just copy php.ini-dist as php.ini into the php folder

done. Still says:

debug 1
debug 2
debug 3

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in c:\program files\apache group\Apache\htdocs\jokes.php on line 30

Create a new test php page with the following in it:
<?php phpinfo() ?>
When you look at that page it will tell you where your php.ini file should be. That's the file that needs the php_mysql.dll uncommenting.

ok, i've sorted the php_mysql.dll thing, but now when i load the file in apache it says:

debug 1
debug 2
debug 3
debug 4

Unable to locate the joke database at this time.

I was originally having the blank page problem. I copied markl999's code with the debugging echos in it and the page appeared. I then changed

$dbcnx = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'mypasswd');
to:
$dbcnx = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'mypasswd') or die(mysql_error());

And received this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\jokes.php on line 22

Next I uncommented the php_mysql.dll line. The browser then gave me an error saying php_mysql.dll could not be found. That is when I realized that the extension folder didn't exist. So I downloaded it and made sure all the necessary dll's are there. When I go to run jokes.php It's now giving me this error:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll' - Access is denied. in Unknown on line 0

Why is it saying access denied? All permissions on that folder/file are normal.
