alexv305 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration.I keep getting this error when I try to access phpMyAdmin. Funny thing is I had it all working fine then I re-installed some programs and updated apache and I cant get it to work. I tried everything including removing the ";" from the extensions in the php.ini file.Someone get this problem before?

logansama Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I use Xampp for my development. I get that error every time when i update to a newer version. I also have no idea what the hell causes it.The only way i manage to get it working is by uninstalling any related Xampp programs (itself) and delete all files it leaves behind (making copies of anything i really need to keep) because it always leaves the mysql folders untouched for some reason. Then re-install then BANG works fine.Not the most technical solution! :P But hey it seems to work! ;) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26796-strange-phpmyadmin-errors-with-mysql/#findComment-122542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikas Jayna Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 See the output of the phpinfo() function. When php is to be compiled with mysql support, we need to specify the path where mysql is installed by using the --with-mysql option in the configure command. Check whether this is there in the output received from phpinfo(). Also, if it is installed then there should a a separate section for mysql.

alexv305 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Funny thing everyone. I was following the thread below and I did everything they did and I was unable to get phpMyAdmin to work. So I decided to go my own way and copied the extensions into the system32 folder. Then I removed the ";" from the ";extension=php_mysql.dll" string. I then restarted apache and whola! It works like a charm...http://forums.apress.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1874&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=11&o=&fpart=1Thanks for the help anyways. If someone gets this same error I know how to fix it and you can email me or something.:) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/26796-strange-phpmyadmin-errors-with-mysql/#findComment-122696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
