libmysql.dll and any other extra *.dll could als be copied to the same folder apache.exe lives in (for apache 1/2,). Because apache searches on startup first its own folder. Bit ugly but works and avoid copying dlls to %SYSTEMROOT% or add the dlls folder to the PATH or modify PATH. I am also on +1 to mention somewhere, copying dlls to systemroot is only recommended, because systemroot is surely in PATH. > For compiling, simply use <option > role="configure"> > + --with-mysql=[DIR]</option> where > + <literal>[DIR]</literal> is defined. ?? > </para> > <para> Friedhelm -- http://www.jungle-world.com/
