Apache Friends Support Forum

I have a fresh install of XAMPP 1.7.7 on Windows 7 Enterprise and I receive the following error when trying to access PHPMyAdmin:

Code: Select all

The mysql extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.

• phpinfo() confirms that the loaded configuration file is C:\xampp\php\php.ini
• in the php.ini referenced above the following extensions are loaded/not loaded (default as shipped):
  

  Code: Select all

  extension=php_mysql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli_mysqlnd.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
;extension=php_pdo_mysql_mysqlnd.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll


• On the status screen the Mysql database shows as activated
• Apache and MySql are started but not installed as services
• there is no php.ini file in the Apache bin directory

Any ideas what might be happening?

The working default I have looks like this:

Code: Select all

;extension=php_mssql.dll
;extension=php_mysql_mysqlnd.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli_mysqlnd.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll

Good Luck
