Folks,
I had the same problem with the same err msg.
Here’s how I solved it.
– Looked at Apache error.log. It pointed to php_mysql.dll not being loaded
– In php.ini file, fixed the “extension_dir” to point to “./ext/” (since I’m using PHP5)
– Restarted Apache.
Hope this helps somebody.
ENV: Apache 2.2.4; PHP 5; WordPress 2.1
