Hey,
I am using XAMPP for a webserver for a Wiki software called MediaWiki. I've got XAMPP running and everything looks good, I can access it via my IP address and the control panel claims that apache, mysql, filezilla, and mercury are all running. But MediaWiki says PHP is not installed!
I just went through the normal installation for XAMPP, and let it install everything on it's own. Is there something special I need to do to make PHP work?
Thanks!
-Will

Go into a MediaWiki Forum and ask there, why MediaWiki is wrong.

* PHP 5.2.6 installed
Could not find a suitable database driver!
o For MySQL, compile PHP using --with-mysql, or install the mysql.so module
o For PostgreSQL, compile PHP using --with-pgsql, or install the pgsql.so module
Does this mean anything to you guys?

Have a look inside your httpd.conf file and check to see if LoadModule mysql_auth_module modules/mod_auth_mysql.so is commented out like so:-
#LoadModule mysql_auth_module modules/mod_auth_mysql.so
If so you need to uncomment it so it is turned on.
Hope that helps you.

EDIT: Also have a look inside youe PHP.ini file and check to see if extension=php_mysql.dll is commented out there like so :-
;extension=php_mysql.dll
If so just uncomment it and then Restart apache after either file edits.

In httpd.conf, lines are commented out with #, right? I removed the # in front of the following line:
#LoadModule mysql_auth_module modules/mod_auth_mysql.so
But now my apache server won't seem to run; I hit "Start" in the xampp cp, and it responds,
Busy....
Apache service started
And the apache webserver is no longer accessible online via my IP.
wtf?
Also, I couldn't find the line:
extension=php_mysql.dll anywhere in my PHP.ini document....
the closest thing was:
;extension=php_msql.dll
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
