WampServer

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this. phpMyAdmin was working but has stopped and gives the following error when I try to launch it:

Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.10.1
Error
MySQL said:
#2003 - The server is not responding
Cannot load mysqli extension. Please check your PHP configuration.

I think it stopped working after I was switching back and forth between versions of Apache (1.3.39/2.2.6), PHP (4.3.9/5.2.5)and MySQL (4.1.22/5.0.45) and WampSever2 stopped responding to switching and an error message popped up that unfortunately I did not write down. Stopping and starting WampServer didnt help, so I rebooted.

Now the websites on WampServer2 still work fine and WampServer2 seems to switch between AMP versions fine. Also I am able to connect to either MySQL database using SQLyog (another MySQL admin application).

What could have gone wrong and how do I fix it to get phpMyAdmin working again. Thanks in advance.

My opinion:

Go to Php -> Extensions->mysqli , see if it's checked, if so, uncheck it.
Restart Wamp, try phpMyAdmin, after check it again , restart Wamp, and see if it works, with that extension or not.

Thanks Slider. phpMyAdmin started working again later on its own. I'm guessing that something persistent had to time out??

The mysqli error seems to be a different problem. After phpMyAdmin starts it reports (at the bottom with a red X) that "Cannot load mysqli extension..."

I see that there is an error in the PHP error log file which indicates a failure to open the directory for the extensions. Its looking for them in /ext when in fact they are in /extensions. It looks like there is confusion between PHP v4.3.9 extensions being in /extensions and PHP v5.2.5 extensions being in /ext. But the php.ini files indicate the right extension_dir for each. Hmmm...

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks.
