I’ve been having tremendous problems with PHP/Doctrine Db on Windows and Xampp with the latest downloads.  it took me awhile and some troubleshooting with TW @darbyfrey, but found the problem.  The libmysql.dll file is bad.  Check out this post:

A sumary of it from a-patchy:

After downloading 1.7 for windows, I found that any php programs using PDO crashed apache. Here’s the fix, which I found on the german language xampp board here: http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=32587

download this: http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/php-5.2-win32-VC6-x86-latest.zip

unzip, then copy libmysql.dll into xampp\apache\bin and xampp\php. Restart apache and you should be good.

Happy again!

If you haven’t been to a startup weekend, you’re totally missing out.  Hands down, it was the best tech event I’ve attended…that includes TechCocktail, Barcamps, Demo, TechCrunch parties, Stanford Summit, coding marathons and seminar/workshops.  The event is a sprint race from Friday at 5pm to Sunday at 7pm.  Darby, Steve, David and I drove from Kansas City to Indy Startup Weekend (http://indianapolis.startupweekend.com). continue reading »
