Stuck at step 3

Post by chmod411 »

Hello - I'm trying the install cms as well, and I have been reading your forum to find out where I can get php-mysql package together. I have downloaded both mysql-essential 5.0.27 and php 5.2.1. I use Apache 2.0.5 on Windows XP SP2.

I also got the same error at step 3 - I have nothing to choose from the Database type and "Database Type:   
No valid database drivers appear to be compiled into your PHP install. Please confirm that you have mysql, mysqli, and/or postgres7 support installed, and try again."

I have done mysql command, the database "cms" has been created, and privileges for cms_user has been granted.

Someone mentioned in here that there is a php-mysql package, can someone send me the link where to find this package? Thank you.

Hello,

I don't know much about XP. I think the "php-mysql" package you are refering to is specific of a Linux distribution.
May be you should have a look at XAMPP on http://www.apachefriends.org

PM

Ah! it's my ignorance about Lenux platform. The last forum thread- Installatin Process doesn't recognize MySQL 5 - mentioned about Fedora Core 6. Thank you.

Now, what can I do to get over the error? Is there anyone successfully get CMSMS using MySQL 5 running on XP?

I'm running on Windows XP SP2 and using mysql-essential 5.0.27 and php 5.2.1 with Apache 2.0.5. I can get Apache running on localhost. I did not use FTP program to install CMCMS so I skip steps 3-4-5 in Quick Install via FTP. Then I put cmsmadesimple folder in htdocs under Apache2. The config.php comes with the cmsmadesimple folder, so I did not create one. Then I create cms database. I did not fix permissions on the cache and template, I am doing this for testing on my own pc. Then I open up the cms site via localhost/cmsmadesimple/index.php, and I have met all required setting. The only warning I have is "Checking max upload file size - I have 2M", so I passed. I then created admin account. Then I am in Step 3 - where I got an error in Database Type - No valid database drivers appear to be compiled into your PHP install. Please confirm that you have mysql, mysqli, and/or postgres7 support installed, and try again.

Anyone has any idea? Or should I go back to get MySQL 4.0+ ? Thank you for anyone looking into this.

You may wanna look at installing a WAMP package like XAMPP or WAMP5 though, which configures everything automatically.

I have installed WAMP5 and followed the steps in Quick Installation and it just come out nicely. the step I did differently with WAMPS is to put cmsmadesimple folder inside www folder in WAMPS. Nicely done, thank you for everyone's help.
