Ok.. i have tryed tuts.. I just can't seem to get everything right or everything i need..
Heres what i have..
Apache 2.0 running.
Php 5
I need... A Nice and easy phpbb3 Forum.
I've downloaded Mysql 5.0 and 4.1 and both are ..supposley running..
But when i go to install the forum it doesn't find any mysql.
What else do i do? am i missing something?
Do i have to add an ext line like with php in the apache conf file? if so what do i add?
Do i add something to the php.ini?
I'm Starting from scratch pretty much so i need to know EVERYTHING to do. ... EVERYTHING.

Which operation system do you use?
It you prefer to install manually, you can use the instruction http://www.witsuite.com/support/knowled ... ll-php.php.
If you want to save your time, use XAMPP software bundle or WITSuite EasyInstaller (WITSuite installation video: http://www.witsuite.com/products/installer/). It is most simple way to install Apache, PHP, MySQL on Windows.

Since PHP 5, the mysql extension was unbundled from PHP, so you need to include with php.ini like this:
As far as I can remember, you may need to download the PECL binaries to get php_mysql.dll.
Code: Select all
extension = php_mysql.dll-

You have to move libmysql (or something similar) to the extension folder, too. Thought I should note that. What is your extensions path? Make sure that the loaded extensions are a) uncommented from the php.ini file and b) in the proper extension directory and c) you are rebooting apache after you make changes (make sure you save the changes, too!)
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.
