I love the direction we are moving with this project. It is going to provide so much vital information to people that are new to Bethel Church or to the regular attendee.

But that is just the beginning of it. As I stated earlier, we are adding a dedicated site for our online campus. This site will feature all sermon podcasts, and an area that will be catered to the live online viewer. This area will feature our live video webcast of services, an live chat room for services, an area for online giving, an area to take notes and print them out,  and an area to submit prayer requests. We will also be changing to a higher quality webcasting service and we will be utilizing a dedicated live audio mix for this.

There is so much I could say about this new site, but I will wait so you can see for yourself.
Stay tuned in the next few days as we meet with ministry leaders and prepare the final parts of this site.

I am a contract web developer for a web design firm. I am currently working on a rather large project and I received a text message from their server administrator that there was an error with PHP and MySQL on the server. I immediately jumped on a tech’s best search tool (www.google.com) and researched and found a little info. I logged onto the server and opened the php.ini file which controls the php settings for the server. I noticed some things. First, the extension_dir command was not pointing to the c:\php\ext location as it should be and I also noticed that extension=php_mysql.dll was commented out. I knew this needed to change. Here is what I did to fix the issue.

1. Navigate down to the php directory and open php.ini in notebook.
2. Make a copy of the php.ini file and name it php.ini_old.
3. Search for extension=php_mysql.dll and un comment (remove the ; from the line).
4. Search for the extension_dir=”./” and replace the ./ with the location of your php installation. If your php installation is on the c:\ then it would be c:\php\ext.
5. Save your php.ini file.
6.Right click and Copy libmysql.dll from your php folder.
7. Navigate to c:\windows\system32. Locate the libmysql.dll and rename it to libmysql.dll_old.
8. Right click and paste the copy of libmysql.dll from your php folder to the system32 folder.
9. Last, you need to restart IIS. To do this, go to start and right click on My Computer then click Manage.
10. Locate Services and Applications in the Manager, then click Services, then locate IIS which stands for Internet Information Services. Double Click on that service then click STOP. You may receive a warning about some other services that are going to be stopped. That is ok, we will restart those services later.
11. Now, we need to restart IIS. So click Start. Once it has restarted, click ok.
12. Now we have to restart the other services. Locate the following and start them as you did IIS: World Wide Web Publishing Service, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, File Transfer Protocol Service, and HTTP Service.
13. You are now working.

Happy browsing and good luck!

We’re excited about the things that are happening at Bethel Church. God is really moving, people are being saved, the church is growing, and so much is going on. Come and be with us sometime if you don’t have a home church, we would love to have you.

And to go with that, I’ll have to say that God has also blessed our church with some of the most talented musicians around. A lot of us have been playing together for well, a long time, and then some recent additions to our band at Lead Guitar and Organ have brought us to a new level as a worship team. I thank God daily for you guys. You make leading worship so much easier! Your willingness to to obey God and use your talents for Him is awesome!
