PHP with MySQL

[dimitris_s]

Hi again.

I'm using php 5.0 with mysql 4.0.18 and apache 2.0.55 on xp pro sp2.

apache, php and mysql are installed ok but i get an error message when i try to run phpmyadmin.

It says that the mysql extension could'nt be found.

I uncommented the extension through php.ini for php_mysql.dll. This is the only extension that I have uncommented with php_gd2.dll.

When I try to start apache it says that it can't find php_mysql.dll but the server starts ok.

In php.ini in the place where it says :

extension_dir i did this :

extension_dir = "c:\php\extensions\"

Should I load a module in httpd.conf for apache as we do for PHP?

What should I do guys to make PHP and Mysql negotiate?

Help!

Did you rename the php/ext to php/extensions? That is unless you renamed the ext folder which is in the php directory Apache will not find it. Look in your php folder wherever it is and be sure to look for the ext directory and within it there should be about 60+ .dll files. Do a phpinfo and in the second block of data it probably shows c:\php\extensions[/B] but if there is no directory named extensions there it of course wont find it and no extensions will work.
