 * May need to add:
    `AddType application/x-httpd-php .php`
 * to your httpd.conf file.

 * thx.
 * I have done that & it still while running the URL as
    [http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)
 * is throwing an error
    Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension
   which is required by WordPress.
 *  While i have renamed the file to wp-config.php and provided all the details 
   as
    <?php // ** MySQL settings ** // define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name
   of the database define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’,‘
   password’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘192.168.0.85’); // 99% chance
   you won’t need to change this value define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); define(‘DB_COLLATE’,”);
 * // Change each KEY to a different unique phrase. You won’t have to remember the
   phrases later,
    // so make them long and complicated. You can visit [http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/](http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/)//
   to get keys generated for you, or just make something up. Each key should have
   a different phrase. define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘AqW(Au0hm)tl3`3.R]SZtv4 IE0H)=wD86~\’%
   lV@%=+zS&u~I_<Xx(1Ee8{9nIm/’); // Change this to a unique phrase. define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’,‘?
   c0U]CHO.i1\\Z3v])_gI[5Rk+WP&If6L9jwKK9#i2/%jwu+?HL}VdxjD$*?D/ed#’); // Change
   this to a unique phrase. define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘g+^/GEDyf<W73s Y{pf}/fsS;|TF.?[
   Ki[T]D`NOB^nz;48<:f\’,7*TQ*E?Io6LD’); // Change this to a unique phrase.
 * // 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-content/languages. // For example, install de.
   mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ // to enable German language
   support. define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
 * /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 * if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’); require_once(
   ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’); ?>
 * what to do???
