Support » Installing WordPress » PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL

  • 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?
