So I was updating our web servers (Windows 2012 R2/IIS) with the newest version of PHP this morning (version 7.4.8 from 7.4.6, because I was slacking 2 weeks ago).
In our setup, we include the dll from Microsoft (php_pdo_sqlsrv_74_nts.dll) in the ext folder as we have some sites running some PDO lookups to some backend SQL servers. After I registered the new version, I started getting errors in those PDO calls (PDO is loading), but I'm getting cannot find driver. As soon as I switch back over to 7.4.6, everything loads.
I didn't see a newer file provided from Microsoft yet. Is anyone else seeing this behavior or have a fix for it yet?
Thanks,
Since I had more then one php version installation.I had to specify the specific extension folder in my php7.4.8 ini file. i.e.extension_dir = "C:/php7.4/ext"
Everything worked fine after that
Since there could be multiple PHP version side-by-side.
1.Please ensure your IIS PHP-CGI handler is pointing to the right version.
2.Please ensure you have copy the dll to the right ext folder
3.Please ensure you have set the correct extension_dir
4.Please ensure you have registered the extension=..... correctly.
5.Please do an IISRESET when you finish updating the configuration.
You can try to double click php-cgi.exe to check the real exception. If everything is set correctly, there might be some compatibility issue.
Have you tried to double click php-cgi.exe to check the real
exception? If there is a issue, there should be an error message. Have
you encountered any error message?
No error after double clicking php-cgi.exe
So this was eventually fixed in the release of 7.4.10. It was a little known error it seems, but they got it fixed.

Please do not close this question, it's not a duplicate and the suggested link explaining how to use quotes on MySQL does nothing for me since this problem is inside a WP script. Thanks
I’m trying to install WP 5.4.1 on a clean Windows 2019 Server virtual machine.
I didn’t use Microsoft Web Platform Installer since it download old versions of WP / MySQL and PHP, so I’m trying to install from scratch.
Here are the steps I’ve taken:
Downloaded and Installed latest PHP 7.4.5, non thread safe version
and installed it
renamed php.ini-production to php.ini
Edited php.ini to:
upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 300
extesion=mysqli (removed the semicolon here since PHP needs this driver to connect to MySQL8)
In IIS I created the *.php mapping and added default.php and index.php
Created the dummy phpinfo.php file and tested on IIS, all working correctly and phpinfo() shows data
Downloaded MySQL 8.0.20 and installed with the following options:
Server only
Standalone
Server computer
For the authentication method I choose ‘Use Stron password encryption’ as suggested by the PHP installer
added MySQL BIN folder to path environment variable
opened %PROGRAMDATA%\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\my.ini and disabled sha2 and enable native_password:
;default_authentication_plugin=caching_sha2_password
default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password
created a new database for WP, called wp1 (in MySQL 8, the ‘one liner’ to create the user and grant access at the same time doesn’t work, so we need to do it in 2 lines)
mysql -u root -p
create database wp1;
CREATE USER ‘wp1’#’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wp1.* TO ‘wp1’#’%’;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT
created the folder C:\intepub\wwroot\wp1 and give full access to IUSR and Users windows groups so WP can write the config files
In IIS, right click on the Default Web Site and click on Add Application pointing to the new wp1 folder
navigate to localhost/wp1 to start WP installation
So after selecting the language and entering the DB info, I get this error
WordPress database error Unknown column ‘wp_’ in ‘field list’ for query SELECT wp_
After hours fighting with this, here’s what I found:
the error came from the DB, not WP.
tried with both wp1 and root users during the installation
tried with both localhost and 127.0.0.1 during the installation
the error generates in setup-config.php file, line 315 $wpdb->query("SELECT $prefix")
seems the problem is that what arrives at MySQL is the string select wp_ insted of select 'wp_' (note the missing quotes)
If I go to MySQL and execute select wp_ I get the exact same error
So the issue seems to be related to how MySQL 8.0 is handling quotes in the query it receives from WP installer…
I restored a snapshot just before installing MySQL 8.0.20 and this time, instead of
Use Strong Password Encryption for Authentication
I selected
Use Legacy Authentication Method (Retain MySQL 5.x Compatibility) but the error is still the same
Before answering, please consider:
I’m looking to solve the issue, not to start a discussion whatever I should use MySQL 5.x instead of MySQL 8.x
Yes, the connection to the database is Ok, that’s not the problem, please read all the my post
Yes, wp-config is being written with the correct values
Even tough I saw many messages with this same error on the WP forum, they normally have no answer, or the answer don’t make any sense (like asking to OP to check the DB credentials and write access to the WP folder), still I posted on the WP forum, but I no answer yet.
Sorry for my poor formatting!
Can anyone please help?
Finally found the issue...
TLDR; edit your php.ini and make sure you have both:
display_errors = On
error_log = php_errors.log
Setting error_log solves the issue... I guess that when error_log has no value (default configuration), PHP decides to send the error back to the calling program, resulting in the error message column 'wp_' in 'field list' during the WP installation.

I just deleted lines 317 to 322 in wp-admin\setup-config.php re-ran the setup and it all worked fine.
Might not be the right solution but the only thing that worked for me.
This was for WP 5.5.3, previous versions I had no issues downloading and installing
This error is possible if WordPress version doesn't support server's PHP version.
In my case I recently installed the latest XAMPP with PHP 8.1.1 and had to downgrade PHP to 8.0.14 in order for WordPress 5.8.2/5.8.3 to be installed and work properly.
I just deleted lines 317 to 322 in wp-admin\setup-config.php re-ran the setup and it all worked fine.
Might not be the right solution but the only thing that worked for me.
This was for WP 5.5.3, previous versions I had no issues downloading and installing
Same for me on version 5.6.2 when trying to install a second site using the same database so needed new table prefix
None of the above solutions is worked for my case. Because I have already installed Mysql workbench on my windows machine. I stopped the already running mysql server, I have followed the below mentioned steps.
Open command prompt, then navigate to the following path
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\
Then ran the following command
mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown
After that I restarted the apache and mysql on xampp server it is working fine.
I found a solution, for me the problem was in php folder (exactly "php.ini" file), so to get the standard settings I just installed windows server 2019 in VMWare then installed "php 7.4" using web platform, then I copied the PHP folder from VMWare "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v7.4" to my PC (windows10), then I download "wordpress5.8.2", and "mysql8.0.1", after installing mysql and creating DB for wordpress(just create DB) and setup the IIS in my windows10, I ran localhost and every thing working good and wordpress installed without any errors.
So try to get the php.ini that installed with web platform and overwrite it on your php folder and run, if it does not work try to copy the whole php folder and try again, I tried this with php 8.0 but have many errors.
I just set up XAMPP and, when I start the Apache localhost, it displays all of these errors when I search "localhost/phpmyadmin"
I am very new to this (just downloaded XAMPP) and I watched this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqfIksHKPPg on setting it up (I didn't install phpmyadmin since it was already installed with XAMPP)
I edited the notepad text files as stated in the video, but instead of a login, I get all of the error messages shown in the above picture...
I also opened config.inc.php and edited the line:
['Servers'][$i]['(MySQL root password)'] = '';$cfg
so it matched MySQL root password
Even if you have a suggestion to fix one of the errors, please still comment
Also, if you need any more information please let me know
You're getting several error messages because you have several problems :)
Cannot connect: invalid settings
Some setting is incorrect, most likely something in your config.inc.php is misspelled or incorrectly copied and pasted. Specifically, if the line ['Servers'][$i]['(MySQL root password)'] = '';$cfg is actually how it appears in your configuration, that is clearly the problem as the line should actually be $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'green'; except with you password instead of 'green'...except that only applies if your auth_type is 'config', otherwise the 'password' line isn't used at all (since you're prompted for the password at log in). I'm not sure what XAMPP does here for auth_type, but I don't think you should have had to edit the configuration file at all, since you used the XAMPP installer which should have configured everything.
The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [sha256_password]
This appears to be a bit of a version mismatch in your installed files. Access denied after setting user's password with SHA256 in phpMyAdmin goes in to more detail, but this most often occurs when you've got MySQL 8 and PHP older than 7.4. Normally, I'd suggest upgrading your PHP version — but you're using the packaged XAMPP, which certainly wouldn't ship with conflicting MySQL and PHP versions, so something is odd here. Please confirm for us your MySQL and PHP versions. You didn't happen to have an existing MySQL or PHP installation before you installed XAMPP, did you?
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed
This is probably related to the MySQL 8/PHP 7.4 conflict. There is an administrative user (called the controluser) that phpMyAdmin can use to manage some extra features, ordinarily you wouldn't need it to access phpMyAdmin (only to access those additional features), but it seems XAMPP has configured this for you. Since the authentication fails, you get an additional message that the controluser was not able to connect.
You could bypass this by commenting out the configuration lines referencing controluser and controlpass, although again the XAMPP package should have this all configured so I don't recommend that at this point.
The other messages are basically echoes of the previous messages; you get an additional protocol notification because the controluser is trying the same sha256 connection type that the main user was, and then finally phpMyAdmin is telling you that MySQL rejected the connection.
If this is a fresh XAMPP install, I'd suggest reinstalling, because something got a bit confused. I'd also suggest making sure that you don't have any other conflicting software running — XAMPP is a package of all the included parts, so you don't want to install or run your own Apache or MySQL instance which would interfere with the packaged kit.
I am trying to make PHP5 work over IIS 6.0 on Windows server 2003 and i am following this steps:
http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=4
The thing is, there's no file named "php5isapi.dll" inside the php folder, so I am using php5isapi.dll instead. Is it correct? Or should I try to download the php5isapi.dll from somewhere.
Well, then, I keep following the steps and when I try to execute my php file, I get this message:
The specified procedure could not be found.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
UPDATE
I downloaded php5isapi.dll and tried to make it work with it but i am getting this error:
The specified module could not be found.
Also, after any change, i restart the Default Web Site clicking on stop and play.
UPDATE 2
Now, after rebooting, when trying to access the PHP file, the browser shows a 500 error:
The page cannot be displayed
I noticed that "php5isapi.ll" is no longer available for the last versions of PHP as pointed in here:
Why is php5isapi.dll missing after installing PHP for Windows?
Therefor, what i did was following this tutorial in order to do it with FastCGI
http://www.iis.net/learn/application-frameworks/install-and-configure-php-applications-on-iis/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60
I found it on this comment:
Why is php5isapi.dll missing after installing PHP for Windows?
After restarting the server, it finally worked.
UPDATE (5/21/2010) SUCCESS!
So after MUCH $head->desk()'ing, I've solved it.
Remember kids, be wary of the instant client version you use, dependent on the virtualization settings!
I had been installing the generic Instant Client (not aware our ESX servers sit on AMD processors, not Intel) and that worked fine internally (the CentOS install was 32-bit since our internal ESXi servers aren't 64-bit). Well lo-and-behold, even if you have a 32-bit install running on a virtualized server which is sitting on an AMD64, it still matters what instant client you install.
It was the last thing I thought to check but as it appears, everything is running fine now.
I would like to thank everyone who helped me run through every possible test to figure this out but in the end, it was my fault for not realizing the differences in the virtualizations.
UPDATE (5/21/2010)
I thought this bug had escaped me when I installed it on a new VM internally but I have now found a narrowing link.
I was trying to install this on our production server when I posted this. After a week of no progress and in need to get back to development, I outfitted a VM on our internal server with a brand new install of Crap... CentOS, and fresh installs of instant client and oci8.
Worked perfectly.
However we just uploaded an exact copy of the VM to our production servers and it magically no longer works. Tried reinstalling everything, no avail.
So the only things I could narrow it down to is a firewall issue (although I get the same issue when trying 127.0.0.1) or possibly an ESX (our production servers) server issue, internal servers are running ESXi.
Any thoughts?
UPDATE (3/8/2010) I installed Xdebug and have it tracing my code. This is the output I am getting:
TRACE START [2010-03-08 17:53:05]
0.2090 327864 -> {main}() /data/aims3/http/octest.php:0
0.2091 327988 -> ini_set(string(14), string(1)) /data/aims3/http/octest.php:3
0.2093 327920 -> error_reporting(long) /data/aims3/http/octest.php:4
0.2094 328048 -> oci_connect(string(8), string(8), string(25)) /data/aims3/http/octest.php:6
The trace halts at that point.
I have installed everything the same way on a local server and it works fine. To say I am at a complete loss would be putting it lightly.
*NOTE: I ran make test and it returned FAIL on every test. I never ran this on my working machine to see if it reports the same errors. Any idea why make test would report FAIL but make doesn't report any error?
I've installed the Oracle Instantclient with no reported errors along with the OCI8 PECL package and at a loss. Whenever I try to open a connection with oci_connect, it halts my entire PHP script.
EXAMPLE:
<?php
ini_set ("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo "before";
$conn = oci_connect("username", "password", "host");
echo "after";
?>
Returns a complete blank page. The module is loaded (seen in phpinfo) and everything installed with no errors.
I am at a complete loss.
CentOS: 5.4
Apache: 2.2.3
PHP: 5.3.1
InstantClient: 11.2
oci8: 1.4.1
Any thoughts?
NOTES
Apache Error Log reports nothing
Attempted Debugging:
1:
<?php
ini_set ("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo "before";
if(!function_exists('oci_connect')) die('Oracle Not Installed');
echo "after";
?>
Returns:
beforeafter
2:
Changing host to //host
Returns:
Same error
Is there anything in Apache's error_log? Is this mod_php or FastCGI or normal CGI PHP? What happens if you run the script via the command line?
You could also try setting PHP's error log and looking in there.
EDIT1: Try:
echo "before";
if(!function_exists('oci_connect')) die('Oracle Not Installed');
And post the results...
EDIT2: I'm really not sure. My best bet is this info from the PHP manual:
The most common problem with
installing OCI8 is not having the
Oracle environment correctly set. This
typically appears as a problem using
oci_connect() or oci_pconnect(). The
error may be a PHP error such as Call
to undefined function oci_connect(),
an Oracle error such as ORA-12705, or
even an Apache crash. Check the Apache
log files for startup errors and see
the sections above to resolve this
problem.
Anyone else have any ideas to help out Bryan?
Bryan,
I am going to be honest: I tried this two years ago and failed miserably. :) I could not get the OCI functions to work for anything by compiling myself.
But in the interest of getting it done I looked for an alternate solution and found it in Zend Core for Oracle. All I did was download, run the installer, and it was done. It installs Apache/PHP, MySQL (optional), and the InstantClient for you.
Now as Zend Server, it is basically the same product. I realize that this may not be the solution you hoped for, but if it works...
Zend Server
are you connecting to remote or to local db? i think, for localhost you must replace "host" with "false". I hope, this will help you...
edit: i think, you are missing a parameter...my last suggestions are: 1. you must set the port (default 1521) AND/OR 2. You must enter db name AND/OR you must set the instance name (the ORACLE_SID parameter)
You never check the return value of oci_connect() or call oci_error() but it doesn't look relevant to your problem since you seem to be suffering from a PHP crash. There's an open bug for RHEL that may affect you too:
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16626
Did you build the oci8 package yourself? Are you using a third-party binary?
It has been fixed. See the top for details but here is the cliff notes: virtualiztion environments matter.
WAMP installed fine, no problems, BUT...
When going to phpMyAdmin, I get the error from phpMyAdmin as follows:
Cannot load mysqli extension. Please check your PHP configuration
Also, phpMyAdmin documentation explains this error message as follows:
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions
called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP
distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded
dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll.
phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed. Usually, the
problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL"
or something similar.
Finally, the apache_error.log file has the following PHP warnings (see the mySQL warning):
PHP Warning: Zend Optimizer does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Optimizer in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Zend Platform does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Platform in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Zend Debug Server does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of Zend Debug Server in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: gd wrapper does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of gd wrapper in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: java wrapper does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of java wrapper in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: mysql wrapper does not support this version of PHP - please upgrade to the latest version of mysql wrapper in Unknown on line 0
So, for some reason PHP is not recognizing the mysql extension.
Anyone know why? Any solution or workaround?
I deleted the PHP in program files ad everything started working , the problem that there two installations of pHp
I tried many solutions, and none worked for me. I tried the following solutions:
Restart wampserver
Reinstall wampserver
restart machine
and all other solutions mentioned in this question.
However, none of these worked. Then I found that my PHPMyAdmin was not working in chrome and was working in firefox. So I tried clearing cache, restarting browser etc, but still it would not work.
Then I deleted all the files from C:\wamp\tmp and then tried again, and it works. I am not sure why it works, but here is what I think. The session was cached and not getting cleared. So as soon as I deleted all files in this directory all the sessions were deleted and hence it worked fine.
First, make sure that the php.ini file is loading the mysqli extension.
If you are using WAMPServer, click on the icon in the system tray, go to PHP -> PHP Extensions and make sure it is checked. If not, go into the php.ini file and make sure that the line: extension=php_mysqli.dll is uncommented (eg, remove the ; if it exists). If that line does not exist, add it.
If this still does not work, double check that the right php.ini file is being loaded.
To do so, view your phpinfo() (Here for WAMPServer). Scroll down to the Loaded Configuration File row and see which php.ini is being loaded.Make sure it is the right file. If you're using WAMPServer, it should be(WAMP INSTALL FOLDER)\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini. By default, it isC:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini`.
If a different php.ini file is being loaded, just rename it to something else so that PHP will try and find the file somewhere else. There should be a way to specify which on eyou want to use, but I forget exactly how to do that...
If this still doesn't work... Try messing around with phpMyAdmin's settings, or using another answer, but I'm afraid I can't help beyond this.
I was running WAMP with two PHP versions 1) 5.2.9 and 2) 5.2.13.
As per site requirement i needed to change PHP version to 5.2.9 from 5.2.13. after swapping PHP version, error was "mysqli extension is missing". after debugging long time i get to know it was due to wrong "extension_dir" path in php.ini file.
So i changed its value:
Old: "extension_dir" c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.13/ext/
New: "extension_dir" c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.9/ext/
Restarted All services in wamp server, then it's fixed.
I had the same problem. I had WAMP server installed. All was working fine. Then one day I restarted my computer and it just stopped working! I tried desperately going through all help posts and doing them but nothing worked.
What they usually suggest you do is, first go to your php.ini file and make sure your 'extension_dir' is properly set. Then to make sure these two lines are not commented (remove the ; infront):
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
Then some suggested that I download fresh copies of these two files but none worked. I also tried uninstalling everything (php/mysql/apache) and reinstalled fresh copies of WAMP server several times but with no luck.
Finally I managed to find an alternative solution. I switched to 'easyphp' (http://www.easyphp.org/). This is something very similar to WAMP. First I made backups of my sql databases so I can reload them on the new installation.
Then I installed 'easyphp' and everything seems to work fine. I reloaded my sql databases from my backup and now things are back to normal.
I hope someone suffering from a similar prob. will find this useful. If someone has really found a fix to make WAMP server work. Pls do be kind enough to post it here so many will benefit.
in wampserver go to php.ini. open the file and uncomment extension=msql.dll by removing semicolon(;) for respective operating sytem.
Just add in your php.ini:
[PHP_MCRYPT]
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
[PHP_MYSQL]
extension=php_mysql.dll
[PHP_MYSQLI]
extension=php_mysqli.dll
Also setup the mysql password:
SET PASSWORD FOR root#localhost=PASSWORD('your_password');
And the phpmyadmin mysql password in config.inc.php:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'your_password';
Had the same problem, with wamp. Try to exchange your current version of php.ini with a backup. There is one in: wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0phpForApache.txt. Worked for me.
Just wanted to chime in on this one. Using Wamp Server 2.0, and using Zend Studio with Zend debugger for development.
I wasn't able as of yet (will get back to it at some point) to get the zend debugger working with php 5.3. So in wamp I loaded an earlier php version, 5.2.11. I was getting the same error when acessing php my admin.
What I had to do was change the php.ini file value for "extension_dir" to c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.11/ext/ to match the version of php I was using. After that it was all good.
I had this problem and spent 2 hours trying all the solutions online, none worked.
Tried this, and it woked:
Change
mysql.default_host =
to
mysql.default_host = localhost
and restart WAMP. pay attention if you are using mysqli or not.
I had the same error. When I increased the script memory size and enabled E_ALL then restarted the server, I got that error in phpmyadmin. All I had to do to fix it was restart my computer!
I got this problem for a long time. Tried all I've read on forums and this finally worked for me:
Open your php.ini (I assume you've got the good one that is loaded...) and find this line
mysqli.default_port = 3306
change for
mysqli.default_port = 80
Restart all services
Go to localhost/phpmyadmin -> won't work
Reopen the php.ini file and retype this
mysqli.default_port = 3306
Restart all services
Worked for me.
For me worked this, after searching all logs/internet/every non-normal things.
You have to register dl by:
Through application:
WAMP -> PHP settings -> enable dl
or
# php.ini #
; Whether or not to enable the dl() function. The dl() function does NOT work
; properly in multithreaded servers, such as IIS or Zeus, and is automatically
; disabled on them.
; http://php.net/enable-dl
enable_dl = On
I have just installed WampServer, and faced same problem. I have found solution, that works for me, it is ridiculously simple.
Disable PHP extension php_mysqli.
Restart WampServer, visit local phpmyadmin.
Enable php_mysqli back.
Repeat step 2.
After few page refreshes, remaining errors plates (about MySQL and sqli) had gone.
i tried hard by
installing the wamp again and again,
by checking the php.ini file,
by restarting the machine,
by replacing the index.php file,
but none works.
then i go to the wamp/temp and deleted all files and it works fine now.
I had path variable in windows set to some random version of php.
The fix was to update it and set it to the folder within my wampserver installation:
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.38
Then I realized this is wrong also for my specific case, and I should actually be running the script from within vagrant. Live and learn.
I had this issue because of a different reason:
Check the PHP Error Log(Get from the Wamp Tray -> PHP -> PHP Error Log.
I had a syntax error in the php.ini file while I was editing the file.
Check the log and clear the error. This will open your PhpMyAdmin properly.
Check your phpForApache.ini file's extensions. This file should be same as your php.ini file.
