Problem Loading Mapscript DLL (IIS)

[Ryan, Adam]

Tim,

Instead of adding it to your ini file, try adding it in your php file like:

dl('php_mapscript.dll');

If that doesn't help, try using DEPENDS.EXE to be sure you have all the
required dlls.  This is likely on the web somewhere if you don't have it.

Best regards,

Adam

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Problem Loading Mapscript DLL (IIS)


I'm relatively new to the MapServer world, and I'm having a little trouble.
I am currently settin up a desktop development machine, running Windows XP,
and IIS. The mapping application is being developed as part of a bigger
application requiring IIS, so running the MSW4 (or other preconfigured
installers) with Apache is not an option.

I currently have:

Mapserver 4.2.2 (the Itasca demo data set works just fine)
PHP 5.0
MapScript 4.2, from the MapTools.org site

The problem is that I have been unable to load the mapscript dll. When the
DLL is turned on in the PHP.ini file, I receive the error:

"Unable to load dynamic link library
c:\inetpub\php\extensions\php_mapscript_42.dll The specified module can not
be found"

Other PHP modules load just fine. Anyone have any ideas? I have all of the
DLL's listed in the DM Solutions documentation (gdal, pdf, etc) for this
build in my scripts directory, which part of the system PATH.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Tim
