the issue with the loading of the libraries is restricted to the XP version of windows so i couldn't know of it before the release

usually i had someone test apache2triad on xp and 2003 for me as i only do that on win98 se and win2k sp4

it seems that windows xp has a broken handling of the locations from where a program loads its libraries

do you have the possibility to fix this problem with xp soon?

i wonder, that it works on the XP pro but not on the XP home.
do you know, whether apache2 works unproblematic with XP SP2?

well obviously this is not a isolated issue , anyone experiencing it please quote theirs "php config" section from httpd.conf , it is located between "#php config" and the newline before "#perl config"

the error should happen only if you do not have the php_mysql extension loaded , and it is configured to load by default with apache2triad , so see http://localhost/apache2triadcp/info.php and search for "MySQL Support" if not found it means the extension is not loaded because of a error that occured if php.ini is the apache2triad default , or by user configuration if "extension=php_mysql.dll" is commented out in php.ini

so please state which is your case

also where/when does this message exactly apear and what do the logs say ?

I discovered that the problem I was having was that I was using apache2triad when I had not uninstalled the apache that had been installed with Zend Development Environment, after uninstalling this I was able to use the php_mysql extensions. the problem is that php doesn't know which directory to look in, so it looks in the first one that is on %PATH% and discovered Zend... fixed now though Smile
