• Im installing WP on my server an Ensim box running php5. when I iinstall upload the wp files the wp-config file reads and brownse I get the error:

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

    I did the Pozd fix that was posted for the error by adding:

    if (!extension_loaded(‘mysql’))
    {
    if (!dl(‘mysql.so’)) {
    exit;
    }
    }

    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

    I’ve already created the database in mssql and have updated the wp-copnfig file to reflect the correct paths.

    I appreciate any and all your help!.

    Thank you in advance,
    Robert

  • As far as I know, WordPress will only work on MySQL and is incompatible with MSSQL, but you mentioned a fix by the illustrious Podz? Could you post a link to that fix?

    we’ll thank you for correcting my typo however, I am still having the same problem…

    Not sure I’m following … Do you have MySQL on your server, or MSSQL?

    I have to say that database errors like this are usually caused by the server setup — you’ll probably fare a lot better by looking for help with setting up your server. From past experience, server setups vary wildly, so it’s unlikely that you’ll find someone working with the same environment on these forums.

    if this helps this is my config.php

    ______________________________________________________–

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('DB_NAME', 'nogirliemen_com_-_wordp'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'nogirliemen'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'XXXXXXXX'); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

    // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
    $table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
    // to enable German language support.
    define ('WPLANG', '');

    /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
    require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
    ?>

    if (!extension_loaded('mysql'))
    {
    if (!dl('mysql.so')) {
    exit;
    }
    }

    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
    require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
    ?>

    well, thank you all for you help which i really didnt get any, but for those of you who have an Ensim box and php5 and are havin install problems… I figured it out.

    Word Press needs to operate in minimun security so in your control pannel on ensim may sure the php secutiry is sent to 3.1 or lower… higher security will result in the MySql databases to not be accessed.
