[SOLVED] Unable to use the yiic tool

Hello. This is my second post here and I want to share my initial problem. I know it is an error of PHP, but would like to hear some ideas on how to fix it.

By running the tool, I get the following error: this application has failed to start because php_mbstring.dll was not found

I have mb_string.dll in the PHP folder and by running it as a service, I have no problem(I mean running apache this way).

Any ideas how to fix this and be able to use the yiic tool.

Thanks

Hi,

you have to enable this extension in php.ini file.

And check the path in extension directory.

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I know I have to load it in php.net and unfortunately, it has been loaded for a long period of time and as I said, I have no troubles loading PHP and Apache like a Windows Service.

Now, I think I resolved the problem. Yii console application was outputting something that was disappearing for less than a second, but by making a screenshot I read that the problem is not in "mbstring", but in "exif". I checked my php.ini and saw that php_exif is loaded at startup and just disabled it and now there is no error.
