WordPress.org

   Windows 2000 server here in the office. Installed PHP and http://localhost/test.php gives me the standard phpinfo() output in a browser.
   Just installed mySQL 5.0 and created a new DB called wpress in a command window. "show databases;" displays 4, including wpress.
   wp-config.php looks like:
   // ** MySQL settings ** //
   define('DB_NAME', 'wpress'); // The name of the database
   define('DB_USER', 'root'); // Your MySQL username
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'MRoot4Me'); // ...and password
   define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

   The browser displays: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress, when I run the install.php file.

   What did I do wrong?

   All help appreciated.

   Assuming your PHP is properly configured then maybe this thread:

   Eventually the light dawned when I went back to examining php.ini again.

   Now the install works.

   Thanks a lot for taking the time....

   And what did you eventually do to solve the problem (for future reference)?
