ID: 28255 Comment by: bradley at scrapcode dot com Reported By: pburden98 at yahoo dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: windows 98 2nd Edition PHP Version: 5.0.0RC2 Assigned To: nlopess New Comment:
There is no dlls/ directory - the dlls in the root directory of php work, but without copying them to system32 during an upgrade, many problems arise. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-05 13:28:38] pburden98 at yahoo dot com I found another on line 181 of INSTALL. "Since PHP 4.0.5 MySQL, ODBC, FTP...and XML support is built-in." This is not true. I was told by a friend, "MySQL is not loaded because of licensing problems" Will you be patching the whole chapter "Installation of Windows extensions" on the INSTALL? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-03 15:32:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't have karma to update the INSTALL file, but I'll make a patch for it and I'll update this in the migration appendix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-03 13:51:21] [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's correct; we moved them to avoid the need to put anything outside of you PHP install dir, as that causes people many problems when they upgrade (they always forget to check their system dir). Making this a documentation problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-03 13:14:27] bart at mediawave dot nl I'm not an official bugs administrator but I might know the answer. I think they moved the files in the dlls directory into the main directory. (Where php.exe is) As far as I know, with PHP5, you don't need to copy/move any files to your windows and system32 directories anymore. Just extract the zipfile into a directory. Edit php.ini. Create the mappings in IIS. (.php > C:\your-installation-dir\php.exe). Restart IIS. And it should work. Also, make sure that you remove any php files from your windows and system32 directory from previous PHP installations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-02 20:20:47] pburden98 at yahoo dot com That is line 158 of INSTALL doc in the php-5.0.0RC2-Win32.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
