mysql / php

[mskin]

Can anyone help me with this? Im trying to set up a PHP/MySQL environment on IIS... ive done it before, twice, with older versions on other machines. I cant get PHP to see MySql for some reason.

 

I can operate MySql from the command line.

the service is running (although for some reason wont start automatically)

i've edited the php.ini file directing it to the ext folder and uncommenting both mysql and mysqli extensions.

 

im really stumped, ive been and will continue to search for a solution... but man am i stumped.

 

im using the latest version of both....

 

the php.info page i made doesn't say anything about mysql.

 

thanks in advance if anyone can help.

don't know, if this helps - but this sets everything up - worked every time for me... http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

He's using IIS, not Apache. It looks like that app might be for appache only.

 

Did you use the Windows installer for mySQL? You might want to install the GUI mySQL Administrator to see if that helps shed any light on the situation.

ill check it out.

 

still going nuts... PHP works, MySql is installed, running, services started. downloaded recommended dlls from mysql. uncommented extensions, inserted the path to my extensions in php.ini, placed php and php ext directories in system path.... rebooted, rebooted, rebooted....

 

i get the php info page telling my everything is sweet.... but no mysql.

 

cant figure out what gives.

 

i've even unistalled and reinstalled everything. changed directory name from php to php5 just so id fell forced to go through everything again.... nothing php related in my windows dir.....

 

uuuuuuuuugh!!!!
