I have an error loading the postgreSQL libraries I get the following PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C: \ xampp \ php \ ext \ php_pgsql.dll' - you can not find the specified module, help please

Which XAMPP version?

1.7.4

Here we go!

Open \xampp\php\php.ini file in your text editor and find this line

Code: Select all

;extension=php_pgsql.dll

Change it (uncomment) so it looks like this

Code: Select all

extension=php_pgsql.dll

Save the file and restart Apache.

Job done.

Good luck.

still displays the same message when I start the apache server uncomment the line after :'(. not work. PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C: \ xampp \ php \ ext \ php_pgsql.dll' - you can not find the specified module. my OS is windows xp service pack 3

Please paste the line from your php.ini file here.

Clear your browsers cache (temporary Internet files).

Weird or what? ,

Good move as I see many more staying with 1.7.3 or like you trying 1.7.4 then having to go back to 1.7.3 to get a working XAMPP version.

Good luck.

I wrote LoadFile "E:/xampp/php/libpq.dll" in the httpd.conf of the Apache, and it work.
Good Luck my friend.

You will find that many modules that were in the \xampp\php\ext\ folder of XAMPP 1.7.3 are no longer there in 1.7.4.
As a result, a lot of PHP functionality that used to be there in 1.7.3 is no longer available in 1.7.4.

Also the Microsoft .dll for accessing MSSQL is no longer there in 1.7.4.

And to add to all this, it seems that the XAMPP control panel is no longer able to start the FileZilla server without registering it as a service.
The XAMPP control panel in 1.7.3 can do that.

Should I continue?.....

My personal opinion? ... Stick with 1.7.3 if you can!

These Solution Works it's very useful just add the line to force apache daemon to load LIBGQ Library file Thank Abe

Re:Solution

I am using xampp 1.7.7 .I have fetched this problem too. I successfully solved this problem by following.

1. uncommented the ;extension=php_pgsql.dll
2.Copied 'LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/libpq.dll" in C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf

thanks..
