drunkelf Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Like this you can see that mysql has been uncommented in my php.ini file ;extension=php_mssql.dll ;extension=php_msql.dll extension=php_mysql.dll extension=php_mysqli.dll ;extension=php_oci8.dll ;extension=php_openssl.dll Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/270902-phpmyadmit-refuses-to-work/#findComment-1393537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Did you stop and start your web server to get any changes made to the master php.ini to take effect? Did you use a phpinfo statement in a .php script to confirm that the mysql extension got loaded? Are you sure that is the php.ini that php is using?

drunkelf Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 I restarted both mysql and apache I am looking at php info but dont know what to look for because I did not find anything about mysql Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/270902-phpmyadmit-refuses-to-work/#findComment-1393561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If mysql doesn't appear in the phpinfo output, it's not enabled. The Loaded Configuration File line in the phpinfo output is the php.ini that php is using. Make sure that's the one you are changing. If you are changing the correct php.ini how did you obtain and install php, as the determines how you enable php extensions or if you need to make further changes to the php.ini to get php to be able to find the extension .dll files?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Yes, if its enabled, there's a section of settings with a bold mysql heading.

gristoi Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 if your uncommenting dll's then i can presume you are using a windows machine. Why not try a couple of alternative server stacks that have everything in place for you. Zend server community edition comes with phpmyadmin pre configured for you, and WAMP is alos a good server to use.

drunkelf Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 PLease be pateint with me I am only starting out.I see there is a heading for sq lite and that sq lite has something to do with databases.That has nothing to do with my sql right?

Christian F. Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 SQLite is an alternative to MySQL and other databases, which can without problems be enabled (or disabled) completely unrelated to any of the other DB alternatives. So, no: It has nothing to do with "your sql". Have you verified that you're editing the proper php.ini file?

drunkelf Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 yes that I am sure off.I will go through all the "adjustments" I made to php.ini when I first "installed" it otherwise I will use another pc.I am thinking instead of installing php 5 because that is the one used it my book I will install the latest and instead of installing phpmyadmin 2.6.4.p1 I will install the latest I am also going to use a windows installer instead of copying files like david powers told me too. Hopefully I can follow the book using diffrint versions of these programs Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/270902-phpmyadmit-refuses-to-work/#findComment-1393714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
