Installing PHP extensions for IIS for the first time is sort
of a baptism by fire -- you will get your hands dirty, and
other suitable metaphors of nastiness. Hopefully, you won't
have to spend too many days googling around fora and
restarting IIS 10 million times as I did until I finally
realized both what was going on and what crazy things I'd
done wrong.
THIS (peter)guy really goes into terrific detail and
troubleshooting, (with very good reasons and explanations of
extension dependencies not listed on the current php page
you're now reading):
http://
www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html
Most of this is applicable for IIS5.1 as well, as far as
I've found.
The main problem I'd been butting my head up against was
extensions being reported as not found, even though the
.DLLs were definitely in C:PHPext, and my PATH env var was
setup correctly.
The error messaging during dynamic loading of
implicitly-linked libraries should be more specific, telling
you that in fact it is a particular dependency of a
dependency which is missing -- usually some obscure
third-party .dll -- and name it!
Eventually I stopped being so greedy and just cut down on
the extensions I thought I needed by commenting them out in
php.ini. That eliminated the startup errors. Apparently
some of these extensions or their requirements, which either
come with the base PHP install zip or the PECL extensions,
are either too obscure or too fragile to be necessary
anyway.
Good luck, and I hope anyone who runs into the same trouble
can hit upon this or Peter Guy's page directly before they
go too crazy.
