WampServer

Hey everyone,

I just installed WAMP on my Windows Laptop. I'm used to using a webserver on Linux so I usually just install Apache, PHP and MySQL individually on Linux. Considering I am using a Windows Laptop I decided to use WAMP considering it installs everything and configures it as well

I have encountered a problem though. It installed fine, however, running a PHP printing the phpinfo() shows that everything except MySQL installed fine. It does not have any MySQL extensions installed. It shows PHP being installed but not MySQL. I can load MySQL and access it via command prompt but Apache itself does not see it. When I try to run SQLiteManager or PHPMyAdmin it says "cannot load MySQL extension." Also, every site I load that has MySQL does not load. Everything else works fine though.

How do I get MySQL running correctly?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a post above yours - MySQL, which sound similar.

I have run install_services_auto.bat from the c:\wamp directory - I wonder if its same as mine,

Have a look and let me know please,
Cheers,
Dave

Yeah it looks like MySQL doesn't get associated with Apache upon installation. There is no mention of MySQL in the httpd.conf file.

Hey I just looked at your post. It looks like our errors are different. I don't get an error and the MySQL service is running. I can connect to it via the command prompt. Apache just doesn't see it.
