mysql problem

  • I get the following error:

    “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.”

    Note that I changed the wp-config.php file accordingly. It now reads:

    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘bobserver’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘bob’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘bobspassword’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql##.secureserver.net’);

    where ‘bobserver’ is the name of the server, the username is ‘bob’, the password is the correct one, and the host is correct when you swap the numbers for the ## signs. I verified all this on the mysql database, yet I’m still getting the error msg. Any ideas? Did I just make an error in the code?

    And I’m hosting with godaddy, if that helps.

    And no, my name is not bob and that is not my password.

    Figured it out from one of the other help files (took some digging). Apparently this is a fix for Godaddy on Windows servers.

    Go to the wp-settings.php file and make sure replace the following text with the edited-out version I have below.

    //if ( !extension_loaded(‘mysql’) ) {
    // die( ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing //the MySQL which is required for WordPress.’ );
    //}

    Re-upload the files and proceed with the install.php step.

    Absolutely genius! I ran into the same problem and you have solved it.

    For neurotopia:

    I have the same problem and your solution help me not.
    The commented code will be hidden (//if ( !extension_loaded(‘mysql’) ) { ……), but installation will not continue.

    And excuse me, my english abilities are very bad. ??

    I think i found a solution. Thanks for this moment.
