Windows 7 - extension mssql not loading
Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2010 9:42 am
Hi everyone! Long time no read-your-posts. Anyway, I am trying to get the mssql extension to work but am having loads of trouble. Here is the progression of my problem:
-Installed XAMPP, was going fine but couldn't get the extension load and their help was of no help
-Uninstalled XAMPP
-Installed Apache 2.2 - no problems
-Installed PHP using the installer, terrible idea
-Uninstalled PHP
-Downloaded and setup PHP from the ZIP file
-Got everything configured, good so far
-Was having problems with the mysql extensions but found that I needed to copy libmysql.dll to the apache bin/ directory, problem solved
Now I got to trying to fix the mssql problem. I am getting this oh so fun generic error in apache's error log:
So, does anyone have any ideas?

Now I have searched everywhere I possible could to find the answer to this problem. A lot of people were saying that you need ntwdblib.dll in your system32 folder. Ok, got that and put a copy there, nothing. I put a copy everywhere, PHP/ PHP/etc/ apache bin/ and system32/, nothing. I also heard something about installing "Microsoft Native SQL Server Client" so I found that and installed it, no dice.PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:/PHP/ext\\php_mssql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:/PHP/ext\\php_pdo_mssql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
So, does anyone have any ideas?
