[sdefabrizio]

Installed PHP 5.1.6

Mysql

when I lunch http:/ipaddress/install.php

during the check test it says that mysql is "not available"

But through mysql administrator I can login and see everything.

Any suggestion pls ???

AS you're using the windows version of php, make sure you have the mysql module enabled in the php.ini file (look for the commented out reference to mysql.dll). you'll need to restart the webserver after the change to the ini file.

sorry still getting same error !

I take out the comment from

extension = php_mysql.dll


any other suggestion is appreciated pls

Yes - create a file called phpinfo.php with the contents:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Place it in an accessible part of the web server and browse to it. It will give all details of loaded modules and location of the php.ini file being used. Will help confirm details.

Al;so, make sure the php_mysql.dll file is in the correct location.

the php_mysql.dll was in the original position when I installed php.
Should be in the first position of the extensions or what ?

Thank you very very much

i do not see any mysql result when I query the php version etc.
maybe php is not loading the mysql extension ?

Sorry - no, I mean make sure the php_mysql.ini file is in a place on the web server where it can be read. You're right, it looks like it's not being loaded.

This might help:
