or an IIS issue? cuz, can’t be a database issue because IT HASN’T BEEN CREATED YET. * sorry, but i’m pulling my hair out over this. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [One Solution for failed WIMP Installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-solution-for-failed-wimp-installation/) * [leq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leq/) * (@leq) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/one-solution-for-failed-wimp-installation/#post-158111) * i thought for sure my problem with this would have been solved by your solution, since my “check file exists” box was unchecked. * sorry, but no cigar for you. 🙂 * i’m really tired of looking at all the people solving this issue and i’m still sitting with this: * Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress. * there’s gotta be something i can do to make this go away. it’s driving me mad. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Trouble with the last instal step](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-the-last-instal-step/) * [leq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leq/) * (@leq) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-with-the-last-instal-step/#post-184023) * you did what mithrandir? you commented out the part in wp-settings.php that checks for mysql? i.e. like this? #if ( !extension_loaded(‘mysql’) ) # die( ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.’); * i just get a blank page. i created wordpress catalog in mysql administrator. i don’t remember seeing in the directions that it had to be done prior to installing. either way, all i’m getting is a blank page. i’ve reinstalld php. mysql is running fine (mt loves me). so it’s wordpress who’s buckin me here. * appreciate any assistance. thx. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [already installed?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/already-installed-2/) * [leq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leq/) * (@leq) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/already-installed-2/#post-208072) * i’m getting that. and i have NO idea why, and i would have hoped someone here could have answered your question because they would probably have answered mine. as far as PHP runing properly, if MT has no problems, i would think wordpress would be hardpressed to find one with it. and mysql seems to be fine as the administrator doesn’t seem to show any concerns. * so ya, if anybody has a clue as to what this is all about, please, please… share with us. and if slvhobbs found out what happened, i would sure like to hear from you. * thanks!
