Hello all,
A few days ago I tried to use a mail script and recieved an error:
"Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25....."
Which was wierd because I had set the smtp server to my isp's mailserver.
When I changed the smtp_port to 30, it kept saying 25 in the errormessage.
Later I had installed the mySQL database and tried to connect with phpMyAdmin, but it greeted me with the following error:
"Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration."
Which was again wierd because php had the extention loaded and the db was running fine.
Then i loaded up phpinfo to look at the config path for php, and this was set to f:\windows.
This was just impossible, I have both apache & php located on a seperate drive wich is L:\
And thier location is appended to windows' path. In httpd.conf, the PHPIniDir directive is thus set as L:\php5.
Yesterday I have removed the entire php5 folder, when i restarted apache it complained that it could not load the php extention, which was presumable. But When I copied php5apache2.dll and php5ts.dll to f:\windows, apache was able to start again and php seemed to work just like before.
I have performed several desktop searches on php.ini, with the option to look for hidden files & systemfolders. It turned up nothing, except for the ini files in the php archive I have on my pc (which is also located on a different drive).
I hope that someone can help me with this problem, because i am clueless.

Is this for a local test system or are you deploying this to real world?

I run apache only as a local webserver, shut off from the outer world. And also use it in conjunction with php as a testing environment, mainly for educational purpouses.
It is only recently that I reïnstalled windows, and only had to make some changes in the win path since the apache & php folders were still in place on a seperate drive.
