Installation on Vista/Apache
You kidding me? I didn't know anything about that! That could
be the solution! I'm gonna give this a try and see if that
makes a difference.
I'm using native mySQL btw, not mysqli.
Thanks!

mysqli? I hadproblem or I¹m doing something wrong.
Which MySQL extension are you using? The native mysql or
to copy the libMySQL.dll file that is installed when youinstall MySQL
5 over the top of the one in the PHP 5 installationdirectory before
it would work for me on Vista Home Premium.
I.e. I copied this:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\libmySQL.dll
to here:
C:\PHP\php-5.2.1-Win32
replacing the one that existed already.
Cheers,
understand even a part of how the systems they are using works..)
I follow the thread and none of the explanation make any logical sens..
Ahem.. Win..... Anyways,
Put it this way guys, apache, php and mysql are native to *nix, *nix has
strict standards on names (no spaces.. Above i see a line with spaces in the
dir that doesn't work, and one without spaces that does work.. Hint hint?),
a common place to access all configuration files (no copying this file here
then there cus we don't know where to look to configure things correctly),
strict standards on user permissions (nowadays hehe) AND you all mentioned
vista's new 'security tightening', is this really a suprise?? For years have
been setting up servers on *nix machines and always came to appreciate this
'tight security' as a strive from the developpers to have a good security
base for the running daemons before even using them...
Suggestion? Learn how to setup a server on a unix system, get out your old
386 or 486 (even made a router/firewall/ftp server with an old 286, great
cus they have no fans on em so make no noise ;) and install a linux distrib
to get a feel for permissions and security and you will appreciate the new
security features in vista (to some extent lmao)..
Second Suggestion.. Learn your OS, its security schema, user permissions
etc.. Click and go is NOT a solution, it never will be and will almost
always miss a case (especially when it comes to server daemons) where it
should have worked..
You'll save yourself a lot of time this way rather then searching in the
wrong places..
My productions servers are linux, my developpment server is linux, i
wouldn't have it any other way.. It's almost treason to run an open source
language on a proprietary OS! (laugh laugh, don't get upset its a joke)..
Double quote:
"He who asks a question may be a fool for a few minutes
He who does not ask may be a fool forever"
.... but he who takes the question ... who has the want to find out for
himself ... the reasoning behind ... and not just the answer. Those are the
sort of people that will learn ... (Rhino) <- y'all know who he is ;)

Tim
