jarvis Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi all, I'm trying to install PHPMyAdmin but get the annoying error: Cannot load mysqli extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation I'm running a PC with win xp pro Apache 2.0.63 PHP 5.2.10 MySQL 5.1.38 PHPMyAdmin 3.2.1 Apache, PHP and MySQL run fine on there own. It's simply PHPMyAdmin not playing ball. My config file shows [php <?php $i = 1; #$cfg['http://localhost/phpMyAdmin'] = 'http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'password'; ?> [/code] I've not copied any lib.dll files into the C:|windows or sysem32 dir. I've also got the libmysql.dll and libmysqli.dll files in my php dir. Is there anything I can check or do? many thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/174166-phpmyadmin-install-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 You can check if the mysqli extension is loaded via phpinfo. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/174166-phpmyadmin-install-issue/#findComment-918121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarvis Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi thorpe, I've just checked and mysql only shows here: _ENV["Path"]: C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\System32\Wbem;C:\php5;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin PATH C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\System32\Wbem;C:\php5;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin There is no seperate header which I thought there should be!?

Zane Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 You can do all that but you can't check your phpinfo file? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/174166-phpmyadmin-install-issue/#findComment-918155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarvis Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 @zanus, I can check the phpinfo file but it's not showing anything about MySQL and I believe it should. This would more than likely explain why PHPMyAdmin is not working!

trq Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 If a call to phpinfo shows nothing relating to mysql* are you sure your editing the correct php.ini file?

jarvis Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 I wonder if the version of php I have is not compiled with mysql? Under the configure command, it's not listed: cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--enable-debug-pack" "--with-snapshot-template=d:\php-sdk\snap_5_2\vc6\x86\template" "--with-php-build=d:\php-sdk\snap_5_2\vc6\x86\php_build" "--with-pdo-oci=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared" "--with-oci8=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/174166-phpmyadmin-install-issue/#findComment-918184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 The extensions are compiled stand alone as far as I know (im not a windows user though). Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/174166-phpmyadmin-install-issue/#findComment-918213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarvis Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 I don't really want to go down the WAMP route if I can help it but fast losing hair at this rate!
