CMS Made Simple Forums

error message :

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.

But I installed mysql 5 with no problems and created cms db and user. Can't get past this screen.

Thanks.

is there another download and install for MySQL for drivers seperately? Wouldn't the drivers already be in the MySQL5.1.1 install? 

PHP handles it's database drivers internally.  Where did you get php from?

from the windows installer php site download.  I downloaded the zip file as I guess there are "extensions" missing (i.e. the drivers) but same error.

sean, you can try Wampserver, that installs PHP, MySQL, Apache and phpMyAdmin in one package. But then you'd have to uninstall those you have first.
