php_mbstring.dll will not load in IIS 6.0

[sfreeman]

I am trying to install Sugar on a Windows 2003 server with PHP 4.4.0. During the install I can never get php_mbstring.dll to work. I have added the dll in C:\PHP\entensions\ but when I uncomment
;extension=php_mbstring.dll in the php.ini file it basically stops any PHP file from running. If I comment it out again PHP starts working again.

The event log has the following entries:
========System Log==========
Application popup: Warning : Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\extensions\php_mbstring.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

=========Application Log==========
The script started from the URL '/install.php' with parameters '' has not responded within the configured timeout period. The HTTP server is terminating the script.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I thought it might be a permission problem so I temporarily set full access to EVERYONE on the C:\PHP\extensions folder but that didn't work either.

I know this is more of a PHP issue but I thought someone out there may have a an answer. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Does the file 'C:\PHP\extensions\php_mbstring.dll' exist?

[sfreeman]

Yes, it does still exist. I just seems like PHP or IIS can't find it? Do you know if the DLLs have to be registered (regsvr32)?

[cubach]

I have tried to execute regsevr32 to register the php_mbstring.dll without exit. It seems imposible ! Maybe the dll has not all the information needed to be registred.

[ayavilevich]

Try to add this to the [mbstring] section in php.ini

mbstring.language = Japanese
mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8
mbstring.http_input = auto
mbstring.http_output = pass
mbstring.encoding_translation = On
mbstring.detect_order = auto
mbstring.substitute_character = none;
mbstring.func_overload = 0

Try to add C:\php to the PATH (and reboot the machine to make sure).

We have loaded the php_mbstring.dll !

Please check the version of the php_mbstring.dll you want to load, in my case was the version 5.1.6.6 and didn't work. I have download the php_mbstring.dll version 5.0.4, and I have copied to c:/windows and it works. Now I have other problems but not this one.

No need to register the dll with regsvr32 !!
