Hi All,
I am trying to setup wikimedia on windows using oracle database. I installed apache 2.0.58 and then installed zend core for oracle (zend core engine version 2.0.5 / php version 5.0.5). I can connect to oracle using a test php program so that part is working fine.
Now I downloaded Wikimedia and unzipped to apache/htdocs. When I try to run the setup all I am getting is the message below.
MediaWiki 1.7.1 Installation Don't forget security updates! Keep an eye on the low-traffic release announcements mailing list. Checking environment... Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.
PHP 5.0.5 installed Could not find a suitable database driver! For MySQL, compile PHP using --with-mysql, or install the mysql.so module For PostgreSQL, compile PHP using --with-pgsql, or install the pgsql.so module
What am I missing? Should I install mySql to make this work? Any information will be of great help.
Thanks Rajesh
