story:

I decided to try out phpbb but unfornutelly it required mysql, so i download the no-install version 5.0 of mysql, it took me almost 2 hours to download mysql 5.0- no install, .. anways unzipped it in my c:/ dir, and i read a tuturial at http://www.abyssunderground.co.uk/tutorials.php , i did what it said to do for phpbb, so i downloaded phpmyadmin.. i did everything for myadminphp , but the tuturial doesnt have instructiosn for no install mysql :(

i have phpmyadmin and phpBB, both in my htdocs directory, i have mysql(no install) in my c:/ dir.. but when i run phpadmin it says it

Quote:

phpMyAdmin - Error

Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation



heres info windows xp, abyss x1, php 5, mysql-5 ,phpBB 2.0, phpMyAdmin 2.8
:P

Rename "php.ini - recommended" to "php.ini" and change the settings as I
have in my tutorials. This should easily fix the problem.

That just means the MySQL server is not running. Check the Services panel to
see if MySQL is running in the Services list.

To do that:

Switch to Classic View for Controle panel and click Administrative Tools, now
open the Services panel and check see if MySQL is started.

I will help you on MSN Messenger if you want. Add msn@trustabyss.com to
your contacts and I will assist you.

Install our preconfigured PHP 5 package and save your time with these php.ini editions and settings: http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php5win.html .

Use also the MySQL installer version, it is hassle-free.

lol I have 512 KB/s and if you meant 256 KB/s you should try a differrent mirror..

If you do have half the speed of dial up, look out for pc magazines in news agencies. Their disks usually contain copies of basics programs like MySql.

MrWiseOne,

You have 512Kbps / 256Kbps not 512KB/s / 256KB/s ;-)

Just remember internet speeds are usually in the form Kbps / Mbps and download speeds are in the form KB/s / MB/s ;-)
