Phpmyadmin: cannot load mysql extension. But it is loaded!


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone

 

I'm having this annoying error in phpmyadmin.

I have installed PHP, Apache and Mysql, and everything works great. I can use the command line MySQL client and communicate with php / mysql.

But when I run PhpMyAdmin, i get this error:

 

"Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation"

 

But I have done all the things needed, and MySQL works...

 

What am I missing?

 

Im using php 5.2.5, Apache 2.2.6 and MySQL 5.0

 

PHP requires the library php_mysql.dll to be enabled (in the php.ini) in order for PHP to be used with MySQL. Just because MySQL itself is installed and working via the command line doesn't mean PHPMyAdmin will work.

 

Have you enabled the mysql extension within the php.ini? Is PHP reading the php.ini you are editing? What OS are you using?
