PHP5 with XAMPP 1.6.6a - openssl extension not loading

Postby MindStar » 23. April 2008 10:34

Hi,

I am unable to load the PHP5 openssl extension with XAMPP 1.6.6a.

I have edited the php5.ini file to load the extension, but phpinfo() is reporting that the extension has not loaded.

The Apache OpenSSL extension has loaded and I can access https://localhost/ - but I cannot open an SSL connection from within my PHP application; I want to send email to a remote host via a secure SMTP connection.

I have searched the forums and read the documentation, but I can't figure out why the PHP5 openssl extension is not loading. There is nothing in the error log.

I have tried re-installing XAMPP 1.6.6a, but that didn't fix it either.

TIA,

Mark.

I have edited the php5.ini file to load the extension,

Look in the output of phpinfo() which is the correct "php.ini".

OK. PHP5 is using the php.ini file for it's configuration.

I've uncommented
Code: Select all
extension=php_openssl.dll
but the module still isn't loading :?

I've also tried enabling the eAccelerator.dll (which I use on my production server) and that isn't loading either :? :?

You have looked in phpinfo()? What can you read there regarding "php.ini"?

D'oh! I must have been editing the wrong php.ini file in UltraEdit :oops:

I checked
Code: Select all
C:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini
using NotePad and my changes weren't there :shock:

Closed UltraEdit, reopened it, made the changes, saved, restarted Apache and voila; the openssl and eAccelerator modules are loaded!

Thanks for your patience :)
