   Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.
   this is the message, but I'm sure I created the database...

   Yes but your host likely doesn't have the proper MySQL extensions configured for PHP.

   Talk to them.

   Note: if you are using GoDaddy, change to a PHP type account.

   How to upgrade your existing hosting plan with GoDaddy.
   1. Login to your account at www.godaddy.com
   2. Hover over Hosting & Servers, click on My Hosting Account
   3. Click on your domain name under the Hosting Account column
   4. On the right, click on Upgrade/Downgrade Hosting Plan
   5. Select the new plan. A plan with PHP is preferable, but a Deluxe Windows with CGI-b will also work.

   I Have The same Problem.
   I am trying to host my own Site Localy.

   I have Setup in this order: PHP5, MySQL5 and Apache Http Server 2.2.4 on Windows XP Pro.

   I know it is probably something i have done wrong. I have followed instructions and seam to be having problems accessing MySQL. I can access Mysql through MsDos but cant link anything to a database.

   I can run some PHP and Access Apache but nothing seams to work with MySql.

   Any help please
   Thanks
   Colin

   Hi MichaelH:

   A Deluxe Windows with CGI-b will also work? I am trying to solve this problem on GoDaddy, but can't find any reference to CGI-b. Could you elaborate? Thanks!
