Topic: PDO extension is not working

[Millennium]

Hi

Recently I tried to enable the PDO (PDO_MYSQL) extension. There are no faults in the Apache Error log, but the PDO extension doesn't display in phpindfo(). Creation of the PDO class in a php script results in: "Fatal Error: Class 'PDO' not found.

My webserver config:

Apache 2.2.6 (ApacheLounge build)
php 5.2.5
Windows 2003 (WE)


PHP is installed as CGI module, with mod_fcgid (also Apachelounge build)
(installing PHP as module, doesn't make a differnce)

I'm for 100% sure I edit the right php.ini (identified with phpinfo())

I enabled the following extensions in php ini:

php_pdo.dll
php_pdo_mysql.dll

The extension-path is directing to the right directory and the pdp dll's are in that directory.

php_mysqli is working perfectly (enableing php_mysql didn't help either)

What am I missing ?

Are you sure that you load the right php.ini?

Inside the fcgi block you can set where PHP should search for the ini file

Yes I'm sure (it's the same location as displayed in phpinfo "Loaded Configuration File") Also enabling another Extension does work, only PDO fails, altough there are no visible error in the log files...

I disabled all extension in php.ini, but pdo and pdo_mysql.

You should log error

display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
log_errors = On
error_log = C:/server2/logs/phperror.log

One last thing I get in my mind is that libmysql.dll is required. It should be in System32 path or apache\bin

[Millennium]

Even with all extesnions disabled, except pdo and pdo_mysql still No errors and no PDO

it freaks me out...

Maybe you should download php again and try once more. On my Win2k3 Standart it works fine.
