Thanks a lot for the blog jason.
On my vista it is php_exif.dll that causes it.
I should mention that i use a manual installation of php 5.2.5.rather and not a xamp intallation.

Hey Bob, I wish I knew. I would try installing Apache, PHP and MySQL manually using the latest versions. Personally I like using as many of the OS built-in services as possible so on Windows I prefer using IIS instead of Apache, but of course that has nothing to do with the CLI issue. CLI stands for Command Line Interface if you didn’t already know, which is only relevant when running PHP shell commands so you don’t really see it when running CGI or ISAPI.

Ok, maybe someone can help me. I’ve been trying install Wampserver, but the same thing happens each time. I get “CLI has stopped running” and the program closes. No one has been able to help me. I run a vista Ser.
Pac. 2 on a good running Windows system. Please help. If you don’t know please send me to the right place. The folks at Wampserver are not very responsive.

Hey John, what version did you copy? I thought I had fixed the problem for a while – i did not see any errors, but then it turns out it wasn’t totally fixed. The dll update definitely had a positive effect, but I can say for sure it wasn’t 100%.

I tell a lie, I have got it working. This time I completed replaced the ext directory with the latest from the PHP zip, and it works. I don’t think the problem was libmysql.dll

This hasn’t helped at all for me. I have replaced libmysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll to no avail. What about php_mysql.dll?

UPDATE – I recently got the CLI error again so this doesn’t solve the problem completely. However, it did radically decrease the number of times I get it. I’ve since discovered that the CLI happens when using the PEAR library Spreadsheet::Writer – I doubt that library is the cause, but something in there triggers the CLI error frequently.
