I'm trying to setup PHP5 on a test server at work. I removed PHP 4 and setup
PHP5 as a clean install. I did the manual install per the instructions.

The machine run Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0. I have 2 annoying issues:

No matter what I do, when I look at phpinfo() it reports that it is reading
the php.ini file from c:\windows. Even though I have made all the ini file
adjustments, put in the registry change, etc. it still won't read the
php.ini from c:\php.

Even more problematic, though, is I cannot get MySQL integration to work. I
went through dozens of posts on the main PHP website and did all of the
troubleshooting elements. C:\php and C:\php\ext are both in my path. Other
extensions from C:\php\ext load up fine, but when I "activate" (i.e.
uncomment the extension line) for MySQL, PHP no longer loads up pages (even
one that does no database interaction).

When I look at the production screen I get an error message that basically
says (sorry, left the exact wording on a sheet at work), "Unable to process
file c:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll"

The file is in the directory noted above. I though the file might have
gotten corrupted, so I copied over a fresh version. Same problem.

At this point I'm going crazy. Can anyone suggest a solution?
