   Hello

   I'm trying to install bbPress but every time I try am greeted by the message 'Your PHP installation appears to be missing the specified MySQL extension (mysql) which is required for bbPress.'

   I am using Windows XP Pro SP2 and have PHP 5.2.44 and MySQL 5.o installed . Both these applications work in isolation of each other and I have tried to install the MySQL extensions for PHP.

   To give more detail; I have file php_mysqli.dll (version 5.2.1.1) in the folder C:\Program Files\Ext, file libmysql.dll is in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin and this included in the Windows PATH.

   I also have extension=php_mysqli.dll defined in section [MySQLi] of file C:\Program Files\php.ini.

   Can you advise where my PC's configuration is wrong, or if I need to carry out additional steps, because I would like to evaluate bbPress for use in a Java application I'm writing?

   Thanks

   Martin O'Shea.

   How about the php_mysql.dll, not just php_mysqli.dll? It seems to be saying it's missing the mysql extension but you've posted only that you have enabled mysqli.

   Also, be sure to restart the web server after making a configuration change.

   Thanks chrishajer.

   That seems to have done the job and bbPress is now installed. But I do find that I am denied access to certain pages. I will see how this proceeds.
