I'm trying to upgrading php from 5.2 to 5.3 manualy.
i downloaded the C9 x86 Thread Safe (2012-Nov-21 22:03:51) zip file, opened it into c:\php
did what it said in this manual http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php
first off, I had no pear folder in the zip, and no pear-go.bat..
and second, once I did all the modification to php.ini like they said and tried to restart my apache i got a fail.
went to httpd.conf and changed the line LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
to LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
cuz that's the dll i have there. started apache, it said "C:/php/libmysql.dll" not found.
correct, that file is not in the zip as well.. so i copy pasted it from my old php folder.
started apache again, not it says "cannot load c:/php/php5apache2.dll.. modul not found"
but it IS in that folder..
any advice?
