SusieWoosey Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 OK I give up, what did I do wrong? I got Apache working, I got php working, now I can edit .php files locally. Works a treat.I've installed mySQL and it seems to work, but there is noway I can work it from the command line interface. Hence my attempts at installing phpMyAdmin.I have failed miserably, all I get when I open index.php in my browser is - phpMyAdmin - Error - Cannot load msql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation.I presume that is how phpmyadmin is started?? Or do I use main.php?I have looked at the documentation till I am blue in the face.Help - what have I missed or done wrong. I am very confused as to where the phpmyadmin installlation should go.Suzanne (UK) :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I believe there's a sticky on this topic somewhere... maybe PHP help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 have a look at [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,95378.0.html]this FAQ Thread[/url]. You need to enable the MySQL extension (php_mysql.dll (not php_mysqli.dll). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieWoosey Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 Thanks Wildteen, I shall have a read.Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieWoosey Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks wildteen, yet again you score gold.Well at least I am now into phpmyadmin, but I get this error when I first get in - The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results.I expect it's something I haven't set up properly in config?The char set appears to be set at - UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) - what would be best?Best wishes,Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 You need to enable the mbstring extension in the php.ini, search for [b];extension=php_mbstring.dll[/b] and remove the semi-colon at the beginning of the line. Save the php.ini and restart your server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
