 Posted: Fri 15 Oct '10 15:43 Post subject: SOLVED: php_curl.dll crashing Apache |
 |
|
Hello all the clever people. I have an installation of Apache 2.2.16, PHP 5.2.14, MySQL 5.1.51 and Zend Optimizer 3.3.3 running on Windows XP SP3 in Vmware. When PHP is running only these extensions - BZ2, GD2, GETTEXT, IMAP, MBSTRING, MYSQL, MYSQLi, OPENSSL, PDO MYSQL, PDO ODBC, PDO SQLITE, PGSQL, SOAP, SOCKETS, SQLITE, TIDY, XMLRPC, and EXIF, everything is working fine. But whenever I uncomment php_curl.dll extension and restart the Apache I get a very well known error: Unable to load dynamic library php_curl.dll bla bla...I have just looked everywhere on the internet for the solution and I tried them all. php_curl.dll is available in ext directory of PHP. ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll exist in PHP root directory and PHP root directory is in the system path. I tried to copy ssleay32.dll, libeay32.dll, php5ts.dll to System32 as some people suggested bit it does not help. I tried to to copy them to Apache/bin directory, but it did not help too. I also tried to install Apache 2.2.15, it did not help. I tried both manual and installer install with the same result. Does anyone have any other idea, which could help me to make it run. I do not want PHP 5.3.3, I need PHP 5.2.X because of Zend Optimizer which is only running with PHP 5.2.X. Thank you for any help on this issue.

| Which version of PHP do you use? Thread safe? Non thread safe? VC6? VC9? PHP as module or over fcgid? |

| I am using VC6 thread safe version of course and PHP as a module. I have finaly solved it by copying php_curl.dll library from PHP 5.2.13 to ext folder of PHP 5.2.14 and it started to work. So it looks there is a problem with php_curl.dll library in PHP 5.2.14. |

i cannot tell you how much of a headache i have from having fought with this issue all day long. most of the posts i find via google were completely useless as i already had the associated dlls in the right places, had uncommented the extension in the right place, etc.
finding 5.2.13 and installing the php_curl.dll out of that worked! ohhhhh my goodness. i could kiss you!
i did try to use the php_curl.dll out of 5.3 and it didn't work for me, so it seems as if whatever the issue was with 5.2.14 has carried on.
thank you thank you thank you!!! |

There are a lot of changes from 5.2 to 5.3 like from 4 to 5.0 None of the extension from 5.3 will load into 5.2 |

I would post a bug at PHP.net about this issue but it needs some kind of patch name and patch file and I do not know how and where to get it...
EDIT: solved |

| Even if you can't offer a patch it is good to post that bug. |

| Nope I have downloaded PHP 5.2.14 directly from php.net pages. Where is the difference? |

if it is of any interest to you, i did download mine via windows.php.net. also vc6 thread safe.
and interestingly this was the first time i had seen mention of it. granted i was using google to try to find documented problems, but still... and i did search on php.net but must have been putting in the wrong information as i couldn't come up with what i was looking for.
and my head no longer hurts, thanks to you. |

well, there goes my theory about the bug extending past 5.2.14. |

I don't know what the difference might be. At least PHP 5.3 can be only downloaded from windows.php.net |
