August 21, 200916 yr Which version of PHP are you using? PHP 5.x? Which version of MySQL are you using? What error messages are you getting to confirm that PHP and MySQL aren't talking to each other?
August 21, 200916 yr If you don't need IIS in particular save yourself the headache and give xampp or wamp a try.

August 21, 200916 yr My blog post might help? Installing Wordpress locally with Xampp Make sure you've set up your mysql database(s) What operating system are you on?
August 21, 200916 yr Author My blog post might help? Installing Wordpress locally with Xampp Make sure you've set up your mysql database(s) What operating system are you on? I'm running Vista 64 As far as i know I have set up IIS, php & MySQL correctly (following all instructions on the MySQL site), the problem so far is setting up php my admin. It just keeps throwing up the error message mentioned in my previous post... 'Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation' I am willing to give XAMP a try, but I'm not sure that just installing that is going to fix the problem I am having as it seems to be more with the php & MySQL setup. However, its not working for me, so i am pretty much open to trying everything (other than format & reinstall, lol) *** EDIT *** Take that back, Just taken a look at XAMPP and its an all in one package so I am actually goin to give it a go in a moment. Can anyone help me with the best way to uninstall PhP & MySQL so that it doesnt conflict with XAMPP??
