Look through the last few pages and there are easier alternatives with no such errors :) ^^

Phpdev is what i'm referring to

I don't suppose anyone has a PHPTriad-style solution to installing the GD image-manipulation extensions?

Hello!

I did exactly as you described, but I have a problem:

It worked until step 2 of the installation script.

I used the following:

server: localhost
hostname: localhost
username: root
password: password
db-name: vbulletin (I created this database with phpmyadmin)

BUT, it says:

What have I done wrong?

just giving a guess here because i had that problem some wat like that to but once i installed php4 it worked fine so it may but be that you dont have php4 installed on your localhost

I have tried a lot to get it to work, followed the instructions exactly.

I used a mysql test file to check it.

here is the error

Quote:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in C:\Network\Apache2\htdocs\mysqltest.php on line 9

the coding i used

PHP Code:


		
			
<html>

   $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","password")

Try this;

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 

$user = "root";

$connection = mysql_connect( "localhost", $user, "password" );

if($connection) {

$msg="Connected to MySQL, $user";

} else {

$msg="Failed";

}

You havent installed PHP properly, try re-installing it.

I cant connect to mysql on localhost.
i tried it with phpmyadmin and a php file with a mscql connect script.
Mysql says access denied.

But username and password are correct in both, the php script and the PHPmyadmin config file.

Anyone an idea ?

You havent installed PHP properly, try re-installing it.

I've done all of this:

PHP Binary INSTALLATION
01. Extract the contents of PHP .zip file to C:\Network\Php folder.

02. Copy the 'C:\Network\Php\php.ini-dist' file to your %SYSTEMROOT% directory (C:\WINDOWS for winXP; C:\WINNT for win2K).
In %SYSTEMROOT% folder, rename php.ini-dist to 'php.ini' and open it.

03. In php.ini, you will need to set the 'doc_root' to point to your web server(apache) document_root, like below:
; The root of the PHP pages, used only if nonempty.
; if PHP was not compiled with FORCE_REDIRECT, you SHOULD set doc_root
; if you are running php as a CGI under any web server (other than IIS)
; see documentation for security issues. The alternate is to use the
; cgi.force_redirect configuration below
doc_root = "c:\network\apache2\htdocs"

04. Still in php.ini, change the 'extension_dir' setting to point to your php-install-dir, like below:
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "c:\network\php"

05. Still in php.ini, change the 'mail function' setting to point to your ISP, like below:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.myisp.com
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = johndoe@myisp.com

06. Save and close the php.ini file.

07. In C:\Network\Php folder, find php4ts.dll file. Move it to the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32 folder.

NOTE: Make sure you MOVE that file, DO NOT copy it only.

is there something else I need to be doing? I never actually double clicked an install.exe on PHP, do I have do download the Windows Installer and actually install it? Or does unzipping it to a certain folder, moving and copying a few files in my Windows directory do the trick? If so, PHP still isn't working for me.

I never used TECKs guide so I can't help any further. You may have to configure apache to work with PHP.

That means you have the wrong password for mysql :)

But you don't need a password on root btw unless you manually set one using a GRANT query :)
