Topic: Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477

I just bought a new machine running Windows Vista X64.

I've installed MySQL server 5.1.30 X64 then Apache 2.2.11 x64 with PHP 5.2.5 X64. When I include extension=php_mysql.dll in the php.ini file, Apache stops and I get the following in the error.log:

I've tried to use extension=php_mysqli.dll instead of extension=php_mysql.dll. Apache does not crash further but my Web browser displqys Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:The MySQL adapter "mysql" is not available.

How could I connect to MySQL server?

check if libmysql.dll is in PATH location.

or you can copy this file from php dir to apache\bin dir

Thanks, it works now! The libmysql.dll was in c:\php. C:\php was in the PATH but this did not work. I just copy the libmysql.dll into Apache2.2\bin and it works fine now.

Many thnaks for your help Bentogoa.
