I receive the following error message whenever I navigate my web browser to the directory where I installed Word Press.
"Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress."
What can I do to fix this? I've edited wp-config with the remote database location, my username, my password and my database's name.

Check with your host to make sure they have mysql installed on your account.

I solved the problem by changing my hosting from Windows to Linux. Thanks for the help Vkaryl.

RESOLVED: I needed the php4 modules for apache2
I'm having the same problem, coupled with shoot self in foot syndrom.
Had working WP installation, ran a aptitude upgrade (debian/Ubuntu package manager). Now WP is broken, or rather the db dependency is broken.
MySQL is installed, I can login manually with the WP admin credentials. So it seems that the Apache - MySQL connection is broken. Gallery gives the error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()
double checking shows the php/mysql package is installed. restarting mysql and apache does not help.
__bad words__ time to go to work...
Advice?
