   Hi

   I manually installed and configured PHP 5 and MySQL. I created a catalog called 'wordpress' (is a MySQL catalog a database in regular terms?).

   I've got PHP running fine on my apache server but I don't seem to be able to connect to the MySQL database. I receive the following error:

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

   I have enabled the PHP.ini extensions for PHP and libmysql.dll is in the same directory as php5apache2.dll.

   If I run phpinfo(INFO_MODULES); in a new PHP file, the only references to mysql are under Apache Environment (PATH). The list of modules jumps from libxml to odbc.

   I would hazard a guess that mysql support is not loaded - my understanding was that it's built-in?

   I found the problem. The extension directory was not defined.

   See http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/
