   Hello,

   I'm getting this error message when trying to install wp3 beta2 on a win 7 x64 / php5.2 / apache2.15 / mysql5.1 box

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

   http://wp3beta.local/wp-admin/install.php. The DB is created and wp-config.php fields seem OK

   It should work as I already use mysql with Drupal on the same machine.
   Here is the phpinfo part:
   

   mysqli
   MysqlI Support	enabled
   Client API library version 	5.0.51a
   Client API header version 	5.0.51a
   MYSQLI_SOCKET 	/tmp/mysql.sock

   Did I forget something?

   Thanks

   You did: the mysql PHP extension. It's different from the mysqli extension.

   Once you've got it added you should be good to go.

   Thanks jdembowski, It works now.
   However, shouldn't wordpress be compatible with mysqli?

   Don't know if it should be, do know that it isn't... I'm not savvy on what the differences are, so I'm not aware of what the issue is.
