I’m not sure (someone else can chime in) but I think that may mean that the PHP MySQL extension isn’t installed. Either that or something’s incorrect in your config settings (though, I’d think that’d get a “Can’t connect to db server” type message).

Im getting the same error. I’m a WP novice so I’ll probably need some plain language help if that’s possible. Thanks!

Found the resolution. InStereo.. have a godaddy.com account? this is the fix if so.
Yes this is a godaddy account that i am using. What’s the fix? Thanks for your help.
No i am stil having the problem, this hasn’t resolved it at all. I got to my hosting manager and i get all the relevant mysql settings but still i get the same message.
“Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.”
What do you have in your wp-config.php file (put x’s over the username/password before you post here)?
InStereo – did you have a link that reedaniel provided earlier in this thread?
Im getting the same problem with missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.
Web hosting godaddy.com use phpmyadmin 2.7.2.
I install locally worpress with phpmyadmin 2.8.1.
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘SecretMYSQL’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘SecretMYSQL’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘********’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql85.secureserver.net’); // 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’);
?>
That is exactly what i have in my wp-config.php
I read the link that reedaniel posted but that provided no help. I have a business godaddy account.
instereo: Make sure your account is on a Linux system (not windows)?
that’s right, you must change your account to Linux. I have the same problem and now i fix it , after i change my account from Windows to Linux.
