Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

I have the mysql username and password correct but it gives me that eror anyways, any feedback how to get this working.

That error message usually means that PHP and MySQL are not able to "talk" to each other, even if they both are installed.

Talk to your host.
And make a habit of putting the relevant part of your error message into the Search box:

One of many Google references that appear to be relevant to IIS, if you are in control of your own Windows server. Otherwise contact your host.

I was reading that switching to Linux fixed a lot of problems with this issue and also relevant to go daddy so am doing that see what happens. Also thanks for the replies!! Really Fast!

Did you check if mysql server name is exact in config file?
An error in the DBHOST value in wp-config.php WILL NOT cause the "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress" message.
As suggested by moshu and ClaytonJames, you have a configuration problem between PHP and MySQL.
