Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Local install on personal machineI have been running web sites on Apache and have PHP installed and it all works. Then I installed MYSQL and it seemed to install fine. I try to instalal phpmyadmin and it keeps giving me this error
cannot load mysql extension,
please check PHP Configuration
DocumentationI installed XAMPP and it does the same thing anyways. Not sure if it’s a serious problem with my machine. There’s probably something I need to change in a configuration file that I can’t figure out. Guess I’ll keep trying.

In reply to: Local install on personal machineThis is what the FAQ says for the error i am getting. How does this help you resolve this? [1.20] I receive the error “cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration”.
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called “MySQL extension”. This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called “PHP-MySQL” or something similar.
This is absolutely no help at all. Oh well

In reply to: Local install on personal machineI was going to try XAMPP but I was trying to find out if you install xampp after you have apache, php, and mysql installed on the machine already? I have all 3 installed already. I am trying to install phpmyadmin but I can’t seem to be able to enable the mysql extension in php to make it work. If I install xampp is it going to install brand new instances of apache, php, and mysql? Hope this makes sense to you all. I appreciate the patience with me!

In reply to: Local install on personal machineAlso how come all the instructions assume I have a database already on my system? I don’t 🙁
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Local install on personal machineI already have php and apache installed though with web sites running. If i try xampp won’t it screw me all up? Isn’t xampp for an install from scratch?
