Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Godaddy SQL problemI got the blog installed and working on GoDaddy.
In case anyone else has this problem in the future, this is what I did. As I said above, I was sure that MySQL was installed and working on my server, so I commented out the following line out of the wp-settings.php file:
if ( !extension_loaded(‘mysql’) )
die( ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.’ );(Lines 39 & 40 in the file. Add /* at the beginning, and */ at the end to comment out the line)
Basically it skips over the part where it checks if the MySQL extension is loaded on the server. I’m not sure if there’s any issues with doing this, but the program now runs fine.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Godaddy SQL problemHi, I am also trying to install WP on a godaddy.com server. I am very familiar with PHP and have installed WP on other servers before with no problems at all.
I have modified the config file with the host name provided by godaddy, user, password & db name.
But I get this message when going to the install.php file:
“Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.”
I used the phpMyAdmin installation on that server to create a table in the db and wrote a simple php script to make sure that the DB was indeed there and working correctly…which it is. The script I wrote connected to the db and pulled out the info from the database, so I don’t think there’s any issues with the database set up.
Has anyone else had this problem and figured out why this message is coming up during the installation process?
Thanks.
