Having problems setting up MySQL

Post by HaVoC »

I had the same problem as steedlvx, though as I read through the post found things I didn't do..

So i did them and am still at square 1. Help!

EDIT: It says:
cannot load mysql extension
check php configuration

you installed php5 right? php5 doesn't come with mysql support built-in.. so you have to enable the extension. You also need to make sure the mysql library dll/so files are findable to your install... so put them in the system directory of windows.. or uh.. not too sure about the *nix side :)

He's on windows. He used my guide (unless linux added a system/system32 folder and .msi support and I didn't notice ;)).

right, I was remembering that, but wanted to cover all bases (since someone else may have this problem on *nix) :D

I did put all the dll files in the system root however. I found 3 different version of libmysql.dll

So I tried all 3...and nothing. This si weird :(

In my WinMySQLAdmin window it says under MyODBC:

Not Found
Driver 3.51 Not Found

Maybe that could have something to do with it?

>.< That didn't work. I tried to get support at mysql.com but you have to pay for it.
