Just to help some people, there are a few fixes that need to be resolved with new updates of PHP/MySQL
Do the following if you used this complete tutorial:

1. Open your PHP.ini file under C:\php\php.ini
update your extensions_dir with

extension_dir = “C:/php/ext”

Remove the “;” from these extensions:

extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_mcrypt.dll

Also now in your windows host file: C:\windows\system32\etc\hosts
Using a text editor: Notepad

Add

127.0.0.1 phpmyadmin

In the httpd.conf file: C:\apache2\conf\httpd.conf

Find the lines and change “deny from all” to allow from all..

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all

** Be sure to follow all of the steps in the tutorials.
** Now click the start menu, run: type services.msc and hit ok
** Find Apache2 or Apache2.2 service, right click and restart.
Now it should be working.

Thanks,
Charles

I just want the answer to one question. Is there any benefit to running Server 2008 x64 over Windows 7 Pro x64 IF.. you are going to use if JUST to run APACHE to host a website and some PHP databases.
If I end up turning off IIS and every other feature of windows server 2008, what does it offer that I can’t get from Windows 7 x64.
Apache is doing all the work. The performance characteristics are not much different in this scenario and the OS price difference is a lot!

@Andrew: did you create a MySQL user first? If not, you can always try using the root login.

Missing chord,

In the “php.ini” file in the php directory there should be an entry for “extension_dir”, remove the “;” infront of this line.

Also, check whether there are any “;” entries prior to the line having “mysql.so”, if so remove it too and restart the Apache server to get this working.

You can also try installing using the setup GUI, and check if its any better than ur current method.

Rakotoniaina Andre,

Make sure your config directory exists and is writeable (chmod 0777).
