My webserver info like this: System Windows NT SERVERWIN 6.2 build 9200 (Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition) i586 Compiler MSVC11 (Visual C++ 2012) Architecture x86

I use this tutorial for compile phalcon dll with PHP v5.5.32 source code: https://szdredd.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-setup-phalcon-framework-under.html

But when I restart web server, it said that: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'path\to\ext\php_phalcon.dll' - The specified module could not be found

I already checked that php_phalcon.dll is copy into correct path as above.

May I know any wrong with this?

Thanks for your help.

First - do not use v.1.3.4, go for a current 2.0.x branch DLL
Second - why would you run Phalcon on IIS / Windows server?! Friendly advice - go far away from that box, or you simply want to put some more money for Microsoft license :)
Third - your path for DLL must be wrong. Take a look: https://phalcon.io/en/download/windows and if you have XAMPP: https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/xampp.html

Thanks for your help. It seems my mistake in compiling wrong Thread-Safe DLL, it should be NTS DLL.
