The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type that you chose

You have a combination of PHP and MySQL that is incompatable. I suggest you change the versions of bother to a combination that is known to work.
Any version of PHP4 and MySQL 4.0.24 work together.
Go to www.abyssunderground.co.uk/tutorials-php.php and www.abyssunderground.co.uk/tutorials-mysql4-0-24.php for information on both of them.

| I recommend that you create forums using PHP 5 and MySql 4, that is the combination im using, and only activate the dlls that deal with Mysql (msql.dll, mysql.dll, mssql.dll) then everything will work right, check out my forums http://69.92.217.92:9925/e107/ ... e107 is definently compared to phpbb more efficient, and better overall, check out e107, (also its easier to install) http://e107.org |
