Mysqli PHP Ext (Very Strange problem)

[Iaco]

Hi to all,

I have a virtual server with a clean install of plesk 8.2.

Windows2003 Server x64.

I'd like to enable mysqli (Improvments) php extensions.

I have a domain with php5.2.3 enabled running as isapi extensions.

Like explain in php manual and also in this forum, I have made the following:

SwSoft\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5\php.ini extensions=php_mysqli.dll

Copy libmysql.dll to %SystemRoot% c:\windows\system32

Also I have added to environment path c:\SwSoft\Plesk\Additi~\PleskPHP5

Restart IIS ....

The mysqli ext is never loaded in a phpinfo() test.

Any help about this ?

Thanks in advance

I have solve the problem.

In C:/windows/sysWow64 there is a libmySQL.dll file that is an older version. Replace this file with the same file located in c:\SWSoft/Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5\libmysql.dll resolve the problem for me.

Maybe in 64bit windows environment the first place where the system try to search this extensions is here.
