   I am setting up my first dedicated box. Windows 2003, IIS6, PHP5, MySQL5.

   I had my host install PHP for me.
   I installed MySQL myself and got it working fine with my Coldfusion pages.

   I created a PHP hello world page and it worked fine.

   But when I tried my WordPress blog I get:

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

   So I Google the error and found this helpful page:
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/105098

   I added both IUSR_COMPUTERNAME and "Network Service" to have read/execute access to C:\PHP like they talked about - but that didn't work.

   I made sure that the php_mysql.dll extension was uncommented (restarted IIS) - but that didn't work.

   In php.ini file, I changed the "extension_dir" to point to "./ext/" (restarted IIS) - but that didn't work.

   Does anyone has a similar server as mine that has WordPress running that can tell me what I am missing?

   instead of hello world, run phpinfo() ... does it say the mysql extension is there?

   I can't find what you are asking for so I put up a screen shot of the php info mysql on this page:

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

   in the core code there are only two criteria for that message:

   1. if mysql extension is not loaded <-- this is not the case

   2. if the db.php does not exist in wp-content <-- how 'bout this?

   You are correct there is no db.php in the wp-content folder.

   What do I do now?

   All fixed, I just uninstalled WP and reinstalled it again and now it works.

   I moved the screen shots to this page if people are wondering were they went:
