PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 01C0AAAE

Dec 29 2009 ∞

I ran into this issue while I was trying to install Joomla on top of PHP (5.2.12), IIS (6.0) and MySQL (5.1.39).

phpinfo() worked fine, but when the Joomla install page tried to access the mysql database I got the following error message:

PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 01C0AAAE

Solution:

I copied php5ts.dll AND libmysql.dll to my %systemroot%\system32 directory.

This is strange since Path environment variable contains my php install directory.
