I got to the database setting screen, entered the information and got this error.
Error: database driver problem detected
The site administrator should verify server configuration
PHP has not been properly configured with the MySQLi extension so that it can communicate with MySQL. Please check your php.ini file or recompile PHP. MySQLi extension is not available for PHP 4.
What did I miss in the PHP.ini file?
Is there a list of what all needs to be modified in PHP to make Moodle happy?
Hello Ryan,
Are you still trying to install under Windows Server 2008, IIS7, PHP5.3.6, MySQL 5.5.10?

This is really weird.
Well, you may need to uncomment (by removing the initial semicolon) or add the following line:
extension=php_mysqli.dll
Of course, the php_mysqli.dll file should be at the ext directory.
On Windows PHP comes in two flavours - thread-safe and non-thread-safe. Make sure that your both PHP and the php_mysqli.dll file are the non-thread-safe versions. On Windows/IIS you need to run the non-thread-safe version of PHP under FastCGI.
I am using the Non-Thread Safe Version
Is there a specific place that extension=php_mysqli.dll should be in t he php.ini file?
Never mind my last post.
What I found out is that in the php.ini file the line extension_dir = "ext" should be extension_dir = "c:\php\ext"
and you have to uncomment
extension=php_curl.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_intl.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_oci8_11g.dll
