FiberOptic Posted October 12, 2006 CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 Sorry Guys.... I have a stupid problem... I set up PHP & Apache and when i go to install phpBB it says that; The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type that you chose So; php MySQL extension not loaded !! Check in php.ini if extension=php_mysql.dll is enabled, and that the extension_dir = is pointing to your php/ext folder. Copy libmySQL.dll from your Mysql/bin folder to c:/windows. How do i get this to work.. Im a newbie to PHP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiberOptic Posted October 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 lol... what should be the username and password..... the ones i setup in PHP or MySQL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiberOptic Posted October 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 ok i have tried the username and passwords as the one i set in MySQL and i still get this error.... i cant remember setting a username and passwords with PHP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted October 12, 2006 CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 the ones you set up for mysql... there should be a root password.. try that.. if it works then create a new user and setup permissions as using root is a bad idea... Is this on a windows box? if so you might want to check out http://www.apachefriends.org and their xampp package.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiberOptic Posted October 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 lol yeah its on a windows machine.... the username and passwords i set in MySQL on setup were Username; ADMIN Password; ADMIN those are the ones i put in the phpBB setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VyraX Posted October 12, 2006 CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 Here is a suggestion, don't use MySQL on a non-linux OS.. If your using Microsoft you might as well throw it out the window.. Get the current Slackware11 and load it onto your system and get your stable set-up up and running..

FiberOptic Posted October 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 lol thanx i might try that... but MySQL will work with it right!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VyraX Posted October 12, 2006 CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 Yea it works great, its MySQL version 5 .. Everything is upto date, and I was pretty much up and running in no time.. You just have to have some understanding of linux.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiberOptic Posted October 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 lol... @ 3.5gb in size.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VyraX Posted October 12, 2006 CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 You only need 1CD, for a non-GUI install.. Everything has to be done from the command prompt - but hey that is life.. Its better that way, its more stable in the end, and less overhead on the CPU.. The full install with the KDE Desktop is 3.5gigs.. But like I said, only used 1CD on the end install on my box.. Which is running Nextech-Inc.com Regards, VyraX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiberOptic Posted October 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 what would be my database connect ID.... anyone know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 12, 2006 CID Share Posted October 12, 2006 just a suggestion if you want something really easy check out apache 2 triad. it has everything built into 1 install, swimmer also posted another one that is like it that is pertty easy. but if you dont want to do that then you need to figure out your password. it must not be what you thing it is. also insted of using localhost for the server name try 127.0.0.1 or your local ip address. and make sure the windows firewall is compleatly off.
