DeathStar Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hi there. I recently Installed wamp on my windows computer and when i tried to run the database(create a db) I got this error: phpMyAdmin - Error Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation of cource i follow up on the error and found : 1.20 I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration". To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed. Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL" or something similar. Here is my log of mysql: InnoDB: The first specified data file .\ibdata1 did not exist: InnoDB: a new database to be created! 070324 11:06:05 InnoDB: Setting file .\ibdata1 size to 10 MB InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait... 070324 11:06:10 InnoDB: Log file .\ib_logfile0 did not exist: new to be created InnoDB: Setting log file .\ib_logfile0 size to 10 MB InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait... 070324 11:06:15 InnoDB: Log file .\ib_logfile1 did not exist: new to be created InnoDB: Setting log file .\ib_logfile1 size to 10 MB InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait...

Version: '5.0.27-community-nt' socket: '' port: 3306 MySQL Community Edition (GPL) Searched Google and found just about people who has the same problem but unanswered. Can anyone help me? And one more thing, How can i change the server from localhost to something like "server" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 By WAMP i assume you installed the package from www.wampserver.com However please read this thread for enabling the mysql extension. WAMP should have this extension already enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
