Struggle with phpMyAdmin

cannot load mysql extension,

[Deon]

Hi there,

Win XP Prof, SP2, IIS 5, mySQL4.1, PHP5 and phpMyAdmin 2.6.?

I use the above just for developmental purposes and don't need all die tigt securities on my PC as hosts do.

All I want to do is to use phpMyAdmin as a front end to manage my mySQL database - I cannot do it directly in mySQL.

OK, mySQL is running, PHP works, but I get this message when trying to browse index.php of phpMyAdmin.

cannot load mysql extension,
please check PHP Configuration

I know it has something to do with the extensions. In php.ini I have removed the ";" placed it back. changed it to
;extension=php_mysqli.dll and to ;extension=php_mysql.dll without any success.

I will really appreciate any help from you guys.

Regards,

Deon

Hi there, Coopster.

Thanx for the welcome ;-)

I did as the manual suggestes. I also found that the path to the extensions are not correct - therefor the error.

I'm at work now and will change the path to the extensions when I am back at home and keep you posted.

Deon
