gd2.dll could not be found

[LMalnati]

Currently gd2 is found in C:/PHP/Extensions/php_gd2.dll, but when I uncomment gd2 in php.ini, stop and restart Apache I get the following error;"Unable to load dynamic library C:\PHP\PHP_gd2.dll-The specified module could not be found.

Why is it not looking in the extension folder or should I have known to move this file.

Thanks in advance

did you specify the path for the extension folder?

You haven't properly configured your php.ini file to tell Windows where to find the extensions.  Try changing extension_dir.

Also, this isn't a Coppermine installation question but a server setup issue.  You might want to review the php installation instructions at www.php.net.

Keg O Beer,

You were right on.  I went to the PHP extension docs for windows and determined I had not set-up my path correctly.  For my initial set-up I was following the instructutions in Kevin Yanks book "Build Your Own DB Driven website" and he said to change this line to C:/PHP.

Thanks again

No problem.  I've found that following the recommended installation at php.net (or apache or IIS) works better than someone else's interpretation of the installation instructions.
