Thank you, this was very handy. Turned out all that was left to do was to restart Apache. Almost felt I could kick myself…

Thanks i stumbled on the same problem. One would think that the mysql module would be included with PHP5 without asking for it.

Sorry I wrote “Not I got the same error ..”, I meant “Now I got the same error..”

And also “I do have php-server installed and running”, I meant “I do have mysql-server installed and running”

I am trying to install wordpress under debian.
It is not my first installation, neither the second. It always gone ok.
Not I got the same error pointed out here (you can go to the website). I do have php-server installed and running, I do have php5 installed. I do have the module php5-mysql.

And it still gives me the same error.

Who can help me?

Thanks, Mariana

The reason it didn’t work is because this is for a linux environment, not Windows.

I’m having the same problem trying to install on my localhost in Windows XP environment – any tips on how to fix that? I tried the above and that didn’t work. I’m running Apache 2 and PHP MyAdmin 5.2 (I believe). Everything else works fine and I can create and access MySQL databases in PHP MyAdmin without any issues.
