Apache unable to load extension, php_mysql.dll

[watsond1829]

I'm installing PHP5/MySQL/Apache (2.0.50) under Windows XP (service pk. 1). Everything went fine with PHP and Apache alone. I get to the phpinfo.php page through my browser. Then when I change the php.ini file for MySql access, I added extension_dir = "c:\php\" which is where I put the extension dll php_mysql.dll. I also added extension=php_mysql.dll directive. Then I copied the php.ini to the WINDOWS directory. When I restart Apache, it gives the error: "Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\php_mysql.dll' The specified procedure could not be found." It cannot load any other extensions either when I try them. I got all of this going on my Win 2003 Server fine, but not on XP. Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi ,

I have the exact same problem here. Did you find a way to get it to work?

Try copying libmysql.dll into the windows\system32 folder. It did the trick for me.
