PHP and MySQL on Windows Server 2003
« 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.

    What Service Pack/patch levels for Windows and what version of PHP?
    Why is this thus?  What is the reason for this thusness?

    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.
