Hello,

I have a windows-IIS-Webserver running PHP 4.3.0. However, there is no
GD-Lib, so I tried to install it.

What I did is this:
- copy the file php_gd2.dll (which I have from another win-webserver with
working GD-Lib) to C:\PHP\extensions
- set the extensions-folder in php.ini to C:\PHP\extensions
- remove the ";" before the php_gd2.dll-inclusion in the php.ini-file
- I even added C:\PHP\extension to the path-environment-variable

And what happens is this:
- PHP is completely "dead", there is no output, just endless waiting. Not
even phpinfo() works
- the webserver itself is fine, HTML-Files and images are sent to the
browser correctly
- as soon as I add the ";" in the php_gd2.dll-line in php.ini, PHP works
fine again - but without GD-Lib, of course

I spent quite some time searching in google for the solution, but I found
nothing helpful...
I'd grateful if someone could help me.

Kind regards and thanks,
Paul
