During the install, I get:
````````````````
PHP has not been properly configured with the MySQL extension so that it can communicate with MySQL. Please check your php.ini file or recompile PHP.
````````````````
What do I need to do to my php.ini file?

No a moodle problem. Your PHP system does not have the drivers installed for MySql. Look for a package called php-mysql (or similar) or, if you compiled it yourself, check you build as MySql support is normally a default.

Find php.ini file in your Windows folder (propably WINNT) and edit it with Notepad. Go to section "Dynamic Extensions", find the expression "extension=php_mysql.dll" and remove the leading semicollon ";".
Also check that the expression extension_dir in section Paths and Directories points in the ext folder of PHP ( propably extension_dir ="C:/PHP/ext")
I have this problem (debian server); but my PHP is definitely enabled for MySQL access
(wiki is using it already!), and I've made the old_password
modification to my moodle user
I've created the table and user (via mysql command line, so I might've made a mistake) is there a better way to debug (this error seems to cover a lot of possible mistakes)
PHP Version 4.3.10-9
