Title: PHP and MySQL on Windows Server 2003
Post by: Zylstra on May 19, 2008, 09:32:09 PM

Ugh!

I am running Windows Server 2003
900MHz processor (PIII, I think)
Somewhere around 363MB of RAM
20GB HDD (15GB partition for Windows)
IIS 6.0

PHP and MySQL just simply wont work.
When I try accessing my blog system (wordpress) ( www.zylstrablog.co.nr/wordpress ) (link might not work, I need to fix the uptime issue by having it automatically ping itself every 5 minutes) I get:
"Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress."

On other PHP web applications, like SMF, I get nothing.

I have no idea what to do, its just not working.

Sorry if I am being vague, I really dont know exactly what I need to provide for support information when it comes to Windows Server.

I used the PHP installer, and did not really configure the php.ini file. I also used the MySQL server. In the PHP installer, I did select the MySQL extensions.

WHOO! I got this working!
http://66.172.101.250/phpinfo.php

Code was wrong... (I feel stupid. Forgot the starting and ending PHP brackets)

So, I still need to get MySQL working with PHP, and figure out of SMF is just being <insert vulgar word here> because it cant connect to MySQL or if there's something wrong with my wonder-php configuration.

Well, good luck with that!  I'm clueless now.   :)
