Specs:
Windows 2000 pro
IIS
PHP 5
MYSQL 5
Use: Testing server for php scripts

Everything seems to work on the surface. I have PHP installed and working, I have MYSQL installed and working, I have phpmyadmin installed and working.

I have two subfolders in my wwwroot folder:

The first is the phpmyadmin which is tested and running error free, I have already used it to create a database and tables, with no issues.

The other folder I created for a tutorial I am working on, it is titled PetCatalog. When I run my index.php from my petcatalog folder I get this error at the bottom of the page:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/php/ext/php_mbstring.dll' - Access is denied. in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/php/ext/php_gd2.dll' - Access is denied. in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/php/ext/php_mysql.dll' - Access is denied. in Unknown on line 0

Heres the real kicker, if I re-boot, open my browser and type in the address: http://localhost/petcatalog, the index.php page comes up with no issues at all, but when I close that window and reopen the page by typing in the address again, the above error code comes up.

But I don't get this error when I run my index.php from my phpmyadmin folder which is also located directly beneath the wwwroot. I already checked permissions and both folders and files have the exact same permissions, so this isn't the issue. I have also created a "path (c:/php/ext/)" and have moved the appropriate .dll into my system32 and winnt directories.

What gives? Anyone else have this problem?

Never had the problem, but I would re-install my local WAMP.

Would I need to uninstall my current windows web server (IIS) as well as php, mysql and phpmyadmin before installing this app?

Also, is this app free of charge?

Thanks

It looks like something is blocking access to php extension dlls.
Check permissions on c:/php/ext and c:/php directories and dlls. Try to move extensions to other directory (don't forget to change extensions path in your php.ini file).

P.S. Better use Apache web-server.
