Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is require

Hi All,
I installed php 5.2.8 and mysql 5.0.77, without trouble, on a Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. I then installed wordpress and used the wp-admin/install.php and everything went well. I got the “WordPress Success!” page that told me the username is admin and what the password is (and that is was randomly generated for me!). That was Thursady last week. Now when I try to go to the login.php page I get the error (Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.). I tried to install.php again but I get the same error. I have looked over all I did originally to get it set up and do not find anything incorrect. I am asking the knowledgable group for some insight.

The test.php page does work. SQL administrator starts up and it appears the database is setup too.

<php.ini snippets>
include_path = “c:\program files\php”
extension_dir=”C:\Program Files\PHP\ext”
extension=php_mysql.dll
</php.ini snippets>

<wp-config.php snippets>
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘THIS_IS_NOT_THE_PASSWORD’);
</wp-config.php snippets>

Thanks,
