Resolved! As it turned out this problem was an Apache issue, which surprised me because most css stylesheets worked on a Firefox browser.

Anyway, for what it’s worth, the solution was to add
text/css css
to the mime.types file in the config directory.

FIxed. The solution was to uncomment (enable) the MySQL module in php by removing the semi-colon in: ;extension=mysql.so

Thank you, Otto42. That gives me a direction to pursue.

Thanks for taking the time to point out the obvious, Moshu, while offering no help. The fact that WordPress requires MySQL tells me that someone should be willing to offer at least a small amount of help in getting that most difficult step of installation working. Perhaps you could remove the stick from your butt long enough to reconsider your unfortunate attitude.

I’m having the same problem. Running PHP v. 4.3.10 (probably no php problem), mysql v. 4.0.27. on FreeBSD 4.7. The mysql resides at usr/local/mysql and has the database I made for WordPress. I have triple-checked everything else in the WordPress installation steps and can find nothing incorrect.

Yet when I run wp-admin/install.php I get the same message as PB gets:

“Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.”
