Brian W Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 When I try running phpMyAdmin I get this error Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation History: I have never had phpMyAdmin installed, I just barely installed PHP for the first time (which does work) and our MySQL guy installed the MySQL on the sandbox server for us to mess with. I don't know much about this whole installation thing or php.ini settings, I'm relatively new to PHP also. The sandbox server in question is running: Windows XP Pro. Version 2002 ISAPI MySQL Server 5.0 PHP 5.2.6 attempting phpMyAdmin 3.0 Here is the layout: C:\PHP //PHP installation and location of php.ini C:\PHP\ext //my extensions C:\Inetpub\wwwroot //the www root folder umm, I think these are the relevant settings (in order of appearance): Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS Loaded Configuration File C:\PHP\php.ini extension_dir C:\PHP\ext lib C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Lib\;C:\Program Files\SQLXML 4.0\bin\ PHPRC C:\PHP Path C:\PHP;.....................a bunch of other stuff.......;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin;...................... Like I said, I don't know much about this, first timer. Any input is appreciated since I'm not finding much relevant documentation online. Like, I find people with the same error message but their solution doesn't work for me (though I think I've gotten closer). Oh, btw, I do restart the server every time I make a ini or environment change. Thanks in advance...

Brian W Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 also, here is another bit of info; the server is running: Microsoft-IIS/5.1 again, I don't know what is relevant.

Chicken Little Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Open the php.ini config file and make sure the following are uncommented extension=php_mysql.dll extension=php_mysqli.dll Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/127470-phpmyadmin-error/#findComment-659889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Oh yeah, already did that. That is a very important fact I forgot to mention. Though, I have heard conflicting things about those extensions... like some one was saying to use both of them and some one else said only use the one without the i. I also read something about libraries but no one was being very detailed. If I were using anything but Windows, I think I'd have better resources available to me from what I see online when I was searching. lol Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/127470-phpmyadmin-error/#findComment-659935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
