An old problem about ICE for PHP installation

Hello,
I'm a beginner ICE. I had tried to run ICE for C++ successfully.
Now I wanted to learn ICE for PHP and met an old problem: 'undefined function Ice_loadProfile()'.

My env:
Windows2003server + IIS6.0 + ICE3.2.1 + PHP5.2.6

My installation step:
1. Download PHP5.2.6 zip package and decompress it to c:\php.
2. Set IIS config to support PHP and call phpinfo successfully from script.
3. Install ICE3.2.1.
4. Modify php.ini, set extension=php_ice.dll, add 'ice.slice=C:\Ice-3.2.1-VC60\demophp\Ice\hello\Hello.ice' at the end of php.ini.
5. Copy 'bzip2.dll icecpp.exe ice32.dll iceutil32.dll msvcp60.dll msvcrt.dll slice32.dll stlport_vc646.dll' to c:\php\
6. After restart my computer, run the demo 'hello.php', then I get the error: 'Fatal error: Call to undefined function Ice_loadProfile() in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\hello.php on line 19'

I had run 'php -m' and found ICE in the module list.
But if I called phpinfo() from web script, I can't found ICE extension info.

Where did I do wrong, can any one assist me?
Thanks and regards.

    Welcome to the forum.

    It sounds as if PHP is not able to load the Ice extension. There can be many reasons for this:
    • The file php_ice.dll is not installed in PHP's extension directory.
    • The DLL dependencies (ice33.dll, etc.) are not being resolved correctly by the web server.
    • The Ice for PHP configuration directives are causing an error, such as ice.slice referring to a file that does not exist or does not have sufficient access rights.
    I have never tried using Ice for PHP with IIS. However, if it works similar to Apache, the DLL dependencies must reside in a directory that is listed in IIS's executable search path. I doubt that C:\php is in the PATH for IIS. You can either copy the DLL dependencies to a directory that is already in PATH, such as \WINDOWS\system32, or you can modify the system PATH to include a new directory.

    Please note that we only provide free support on the forum for the most recent version of Ice.

    Good luck,
    Mark

    Hi, dear Mes

    Thanks for your prompt. You said that you had never tried using Ice for PHP with IIS. So, I tried to change to Apache and I resolved it.

    This problem maight be caused by IIS. I would find the root cause later. But now, I have to chage to Apche to continue my ICE learning.

    Thaks again:o , this problem puzzled me for several days.
