I am relatively new to this and I am trying to set up a database on my local network server. The server is windows 2003 and is running IIS 6.0, I have managed to install php without any problems.
I have also installed mysql and put php my admin into the web directory. However when I try to access the my admin page, it comes up with this error:
'Cannont load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration'
Check your phpinfo() to see if your php is configured correctly. To do that, just create a page that looks like the following and point to it in a browser:
You should have a mysql section. The location of your php.ini file should also be something like c:/WINDOWS/php.ini. The important part is that php.ini is at the end.
If you don't have a mysql section, try uncommenting the php_mysql.dll include in your php.ini file. If php isn't finding the correct php.ini file, make sure you don't have multiple copies, make sure your server is pointing to it (I'm not familiar with IIS).
Thanks for the advice, what I have decided to do is unistall all the php stuff that I installed and then re-install it all as I am sure that it didn't work properly the first time.
