OK, the resolution is complicated. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php has a documentation error: "Modify the Windows PATH environment variable to include the PHP directory. This way the PHP DLL files, PHP executables, and php.ini can all remain in the PHP directory without cluttering up the Windows system directory. For more details, see the FAQ on Setting the PATH." I did that, and contrary to what that says, PHP did not read php.ini out of c:\php. It was reading it out of c:\windows. I did have a php.ini in c:\windows, but it may have been from a prior installation. After creating a PHPRC environment variable (per the badly buried document at http://us2.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#configuration.file), php started reading the correct c:\php\php.ini file, and things tentatively seem to be working correctly. (At least I am getting a different error from my application now!) I have a separate bug report on the documentation error, so I will close this out.

I loaded up filemon. You are correct that php is reading a php.ini in c:\windows. However, that file contains this line: extension_dir = c:\PHP\ext Next? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-08 14:27:01] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You are changing wrong php.ini. Check phpinfo() to see which php.ini is used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-02 21:54:16] noah dot rusnock at echo-digitaldesign dot com I just setup a Windows 2000 SP4 virtual machine using Microsoft VirturalPC 2007 beta. I used the exact same setup as I did for my Windows XP (non-virtual machine) Apache server with PHP and I am still unable to load any extensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
