I downloaded the wampserver from www.wampserver.com After I installed it initially, it didn't work, still the same error as before. I uninstalled, then deleted all the Apache, PHP and MySql folder on my computer. I reinstalled Wamp, and it worked beautifully. No more troubles. I think it was a file that wasn't getting overwritten properly in the install. Thanks again for your help! Ok, solved my problem.

I did however notice that in the php.ini file there is a second "extension_dir" variable. When this variable is set to look in the same extension_dir as the first ("C:\Program Files\PHP\ext") then Apache throws a multitude of errors, it can't find a bunch of dll's, namely because they dont' exist in that directory. I wonder if this second extension_dir in the php.ini file is fouling up my install? Ok, I just did as you suggested, and unfortunately that didn’t work. I did however

I think I know what the problem might be:

Have you actually added php_mysql.dll explicitly to the PATH global variable… just by adding c:\windows\system32 might not work…try stating the location of that file in the PATH variable…and don’t copy the php_mysql.dll to system 32 just leave it in the ext directory in your php installtion folder…and specify this location with the name of the file in the PATH variable something like:
c:\program files\php\ext\php_mysql.dll

For MySQL issue go here:
http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/171366

and once you have done all this…restart all your servers Apache and MySQL…say your last prayers and try the address in your browser…GOOD LUCK

Here is what I have done so far: 1. Installed Apache 2. Installed PHP 3. Installed MySql 4. Created a DB called wordpress 5. modified wp-config.php with the values of the database "wordpress" with root user as the user. 6. Modified the php.ini file located in the php directory by uncommenting the lines for extension=php_mysql.dll and extension=mysqli.dll 7. Modified the php.ini file so that extension_dir points to c:\program files\php\\ext 8. added the php_mysql.dll to system32 9. added a path environment variable to c:\windows\system32 I thought maybe it was a permissions error, so I tried to grant permission to the root user to the wordpress db this morning, now I cannot log into mysql with the root user, I'm sure that's not helping anything. :) I'm brand new to Apache/PHP/MySql, been stuck in Microsoft land for years. It's nice to have that "noobie" feeling again... :\ Great, thanks in advance for your help.

I'm running IIS on xp pro, got frustrated with that and installed apache, still no luck. The correct lines are uncommented in the ini file. It's pointng to the correct ini file. Using username: root, host:localhost. do I need to do something special in mysql to add root to the wordpress db? I still cannot get wordpress to notice mysql. I’m running IIS on xp pro, got

do I need to do something special in mysql to add root to the wordpress db?
