WampServer

I keep getting a error over and over with wamp. I've used it many times before, I've tried to uninstall and keep getting this error: phpMyAdmin - Error
The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. <a href="Documentation.html#faqmysql" target="documentation"><img src="themes/dot.gif" title="Documentation" alt="Documentation" class="icon ic_b_help" /></a>



Thanks guys.

Ok first step

right click wamp manager -> PHP -> PHP Extensions

Is the php_mysqli extension ticked? If not click it and wait 5 secs while Apache is restarted and try again.

Okay I did that it is ticked. No, it didn't fix it.

Funny when I turn mine off i get that same error as you and when I turn it back on it goes away.

Right what version of Apache/MySQL/PHP are you running??

I've run both of the versions. 5.3 and 5.4

Have you had other versions of Apache installed i.e. not wamp provided. Make sure you are running through the wampapache and not something else.

First delete any other versions of PHP that might be interfering. Restart WAMP, and refresh browser.

If you have installed WAMP and have started using the "Production" version of the php.ini file, this version can't find the extension because it doesn't know where to look for the extensions (modules). Find the folder where your extensions reside. it is named "ext" in your WAMP folder.

You will need to edit your php.ini and find the extension_dir line.

Be sure to uncomment the extension_dir line.

For me it was:

extension_dir = c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\ext

Replace php"version" above with your own version number and location as appropriate.

SAVE php.ini

RESTART WAMP

Click refresh a couple of times and your phpmyadmin should come up.

After hours of searching this finally worked for me.
