    Hi,

    I’ve installed IIS 5.1 on my XP machine.
    I’ve installed PHP 5.2.14 and is running ok.
    I’ve installed mySQL 5.1.50 configuration was successfull.

    wordpress errors with…

    Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress

    I have the php_mysql extension, I’ve edited the php.ini file, I’ve added/amended the system environment variables for PATH & PHPRC to C:\PHP

    What have I missed that is stopping wordpress from working?

    Cheers,
    1DMF.

    No problem, if only it had been as simple as just re-installing.

    I did that three times and got no-where.

    It was only when someone helped track down the error that I found the v5.2.14 has the wrong mysql.dll files in it and that v5.3.3 has the php5isapi.dll missing from it.

    3 days of banging my head before I finally got it working from both zip files!

    I sure hope WordPress is easier to use ??
