I keep getting anerror message while trying to install XOOPS on my WinXP system using Apache 2.0.54, MySQL sever 4.1, and PHP 5.0.5.

I installed a database in MySQL, ensured I had access to the dbase, etc, then installed XOOPS at http://localhost (nothing happened, sop I changed went to http://locahost/index.php.

Installation went great through the point where it tried to establish the dbase, then it pooped out and gave me the notice:

Fatal error: MySQL extension not loaded in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\class\database\mysqldatabase.php on line 74

I have read through everything I can find here, and can't resolve this conflict at all. Can someone PLEASE help?

I'm a newby, so be gentle.

THanks!

Im not sure witch version of XOOPS your useing but the XOOPS stand alone server works wonders.

http://xsas.sourceforge.net/

I've upgraded my version with ease to the latest XOOPS 2.0.13.1 code base.

Hi chlockett

First of it's allways a good idea to check apache's log files.
1. /logs/access.log and
2. /logs/error.log

When you start/restart apache server do u get any error messages ?

Now your problem is either a php or MySQL problem.

1. Check Php.ini and your path to extensions:
Quote:

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "c:\.....\.....\php\ext"

2. Check php.ini and modules loaded:
Quote:

extension=php_mysql.dll


3. Finally try copying libmysql.dll from the php libary to c:/windows/system32/

Hope it works

Just one more thing....

Copying the libmysql.dll is not recommend by php, they recommend configurering thw windows paths. But any who... it works for me

I have done everything you suggested, and I'm still gettgin the same error message.

It seemed to go a little further into the installation prcess ... it got to the installation of the database, then instead of the error message, I got a blank screen.

I went to http://localhost/recovery.php and got the old error message -- same line number, etc.

php 5 doesn't have the MySQL extension installed by default. The error message you're getting is because it can't find the extension, it's not related to XOOPS.

This php.net faq gives a bit more info

And Grizzlydk's posts should help getting it installed. Did you restart your server after making the changes? - that could be the trouble, perhaps.

I am running (or rather, unsuccessfully TRYING to run) XOOPS 2.2.

I did everything that grizzlydk suggested EXCEPT to move the dll to Windows/system32, BUT I did follow the directions on the installation, and added c:\php to PATH.

AND I stopped and restarted APache after that. Still no go ... any other thoughts?

I recently used WAMP5 to do a local install without a hitch and installed XOOPS 2.0.13.2..if you want some support let me know because there is a draft tutorial at the docs site for installing this...I'm a noob when it comes to understanding a lot of the above mentioned but with wamp5 I didn't need to...
