PHP and MySQL connection

Hello. When I start xampp it looks like this:
Image

the root is set to \xampp2\xampp\... so I´m affraid something is set to my \xampp\... folder. Have added "\xampp2" everywhere into the httpd.conf file.

And when trying to access my phpMyAdmin I´m getting: (copied my phpMyAdmin folder to my htdocs foler first)

"Cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".
1.20 I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.

Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL" or something similar.


Tried to change the paths into my xampp2\xampp\php\php.cfg file but did not work out very whell. Any ideas how to remove the errors?

How have you installed XAMPP (exact steps)?
