Per this thread, it may be unable to see the php.ini file. Please check the solution provided in that thread.
Here’s a link to a Google search for your error.
Hope this helps,

hi, thanks.
i already check that issue, but isn’t the problem here, cause phpinfo(); shows right parameters for mysqli (because can read php.ini i guess… i’ll try removing php.ini 🙂 )
And about google search… i’m not a new user on net 🙂
i’ve visited almost hundreds webpages, and try with many options, ideas, but i can’t fix it yet.
examples:
– path to php.ini
– loading dll by wp settings file
– read and check solutions for in several post in this forum (some talking about webhosting sites, etc.)
and finally i decided to create this post.
sorry about don’t write all my attempts before (there are many othes)
so, somebody have any idea?
thanks in advance

Install XAMPP, where all the programs talk to each other natively from the get-go?
http://apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
(I do have to say I know a couple of people who’ve never managed to get a similar setup even using XAMPP to work on win2k.)
XAMPP works, but I need this stuff for a production environment, so must have services running by it self.
I have many others sofware, like Trac, moinmoin, etc. So I must do it correctly 🙂
may be xampp installation helps me to find the correct configuration parameter.
thanks again

next try:
comment lines
if ( !extension_loaded(‘mysql’) ) {
die( ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.’ );
}
on wp-settings.php
results:
blank page, so library is loaded, but no results
next try
change
if ( !extension_loaded(‘mysql’) ) {
die( ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.’ );
}
to
if ( !extension_loaded(‘mysqli’) ) { // mysqli , no te the “i”
die( ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.’ );
}
results:
blank page
so, library is loaded, but for some reason it doesn’t work.
next try:
enable mysql library instead of mysqli on php configuration.
result
it works!!
I hope this helps to others with same problem.
