    I have installed PHP 5.2.5 using the windows installer, included the MySQL extension, and set it to configure Apache 2.2.x, I am using Apache 2.2.6 on Windows XP. The installation was success full but when I start my apache service the following is generated in my error log:

    [Wed Nov 21 13:52:51 2007] [notice] Parent: Created child process 3680
    PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\php\\ext\\php_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

    Though the file does exist in that location.

    Where is the file: php_mysql.dll located?

    For example on my system, the file is located in PHP extensions directory: c:\php\ext, so I edit php.ini to:

    
extension_dir = "c:\php\ext"
    Code (markup):
    If the path is correct and the extensions exist in it, it will work.

    Peace,
