From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Windows PHP version: 4.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Installation instructions is outdated
I tried to install the new PHP 4.2 on my Windows 2000 server and found several things in the installation manual that where out of date. The manual I refer to in this report is the following: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install-windows.php When I use the zip file (not the installer) downloaded from php.net I run into these problems: - The manual does not say anything about where to get the "php.exe" file. The only "php.exe" file in the zip package is located in the "sapi" directory, and I do therefore not believe that it is this one I should use. - There is a new directory called "experimental". It seems to hold all the experimental extensions (in prev. versions I believe that they where located in the "extensions" directory like all the others). This should also be in the manual (i.e. tell the user to copy the experimental extensions wanted to the "extensions" directory or set the extension path to point to this directory also). - "extensions/php_gd.dll" does no longer exist. I guess it's now called "extensions/php_gd2.dll". Both the php.ini file and the documentation lacks this information. I don't know if there are anything more then this, but it seems like this manual is from one of the PHP 4.0.? versions. /watson -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16790&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16790&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16790&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16790&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16790&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16790&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16790&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16790&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16790&r=submittedtwice
