#56 Problem after upgrade to ArcSDE 9.2

[Steffen Macke]

AWC reported a problem after the SDE upgrade to 9.2.

As I don't have a SDE 9.2 installation available, I cannot judge if this is a configuration problem or the
MS4W dlls will not work with SDE 9.2.

The error message:
FATAL ERROR: PHP extension 'MapScript' is not loaded.

Fadi: Where was the SDE 9.1 installed and where is the SDE 9.2 installed?

More questions/ideas:

Looking into libmap.dll, it is linked to sde91.dll. I assume that the 9.2 version
will be called sde92.dll. Could you try copying sde92.dll to sde91.dll? Or copy the sde91.dll from another system?

The MS4W page does not yet offer a version with explicit SDE 9.2 support.

Is is possible to install the SDE 9.1 client libraries along with the SDE 9.2 ones?

I've sent a mail to the ms4w-users list to clarify some issues.
But I expect that the "official" support for SDE 9.2 will only be available for MS4W 2.*/PHP 5.*/DCMMS 2.*

Apparently, the SDE 9.2 update only took place on the server.

Information from Howard:

you should only need the 9.1 SDK on the server that you are using
with MapServer.

You should be ok with 9.1 and 9.2 on the same server as long as the
9.1 stuff isn't on your PATH. In Apache using SetEnv or some other
thing, set your PATH to have the 9.1 stuff ahead of the 9.2 so it is
found first.
