   "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress."

   I have a slackware 10.2 box with:
   Apache/2.2.0 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7g DAV/2 PHP/5.0.4, mysql-4.1.15

   I have created database wordpress and user wordpress with all privileges on this database.
   I have configured wp-config.php

   All files is with default rights and chown -R to my apache user.

   What is the problem ?

   MySql database is working and tested with
   phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl1

   Create a file somewhere on your site with a .php extension; put this in it and post a link to it.

   <?php phpinfo(); ?>

   Seems like you don't have MySQL installed (or installed correctly).

   [edit] maybe this:

   Explanation (in lay terms): MySQL and PHP act like two independent "things" running in parallel - but they do not "talk" to each other ;)
