Below is the error message which I recieved: Checking environment... Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Not supported in multithreaded Web servers - use extension=mysql.so in your php.ini in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\wiki\install-utils.inc on line 17 Could not load MySQL driver! Please compile php --with-mysql or install the mysql.so module.
Did you enable the MySQL module in your PHP installation? This is required. Please see the PHP installation documentation that came with your copy of PHP.
I installed the manually PHP. NOw in all the instructions I went through the guide and did not get any thing specific on that. Can you tell me where can I find notes on that?
Look under the heading 'Installation of extensions on Windows' in install.txt for directions. The particular line you want to change in php.ini is: extension=php_mysql.dll If it has a semicolon (;) at the beginning, it's disabled: remove that line and restart the web server.
I am still getting the following error: Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Not supported in multithreaded Web servers - use extension=mysql.so in your php.ini in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\wiki\install-utils.inc on line 17 Could not load MySQL driver! Please compile php --with-mysql or install the mysql.so module.
(In reply to comment #4) Unless I'm mistaken, Brion made a typo in his instructions to you -- if you followed them to the letter you would not have fixed the issue: Find the line extension=php_mysql.dll It begins with a semicolon. Remove that semicolon (not the entire line). If you have removed the entire line, replace it (minus the semicolon). In my php.ini file, that line immediately follows the line ;extension=php_msql.dll I'm not sure that order is significant, but just to be safe...
Closed since this is not a MediaWiki bug, but a PHP installation issue.
