Technical error on startup

[Sarah Atkinson]

WHne ever I start my world wide web publishing services I get an error message "PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\ext\php_mysql.dill' - The specified module could not be found."

The dll file is there. Has anyone else ever gotten this message if so how did you fix it?

C:\PHP\ext\php_mysql.dill -- is that a typo in the post? Or could be the file name is misspelled in a config file somewhere?

.dll

I am assuming the path is correct. What do you mean by 'world wide web publishing services'?

[Sarah Atkinson]

The www publishing thing is under the services in windows (IIS)
this is my testing server located on my laptop.

And aboult this error. everything appears to work just fine--no problems but after a couple of months that error screen is getting a bit anoying

To help with setting up.

There is a fantastic open source application called xampp which has apache php mysql phpmyadmin and lots more.

It extracts to any directory(including a USB stick) and you run the control_panel.exe and it starts all the applications from the directory you are in.

You can even plug the USB stick into another computer and run it there.

It needs very little, if no, setup whatsoever and you can get it for LINUX, Mac and Windows.
