 * When I go to /wp-admin/install.php I get the following;
 * Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required
   by WordPress.
 * Both php and mysql are both working OK.
 * I have updated the php.ini file with the mysql details (username and password)
   but still no joy.
 * Can anyone help?
