My environment:

Windows Vista Home Premium Edition Apache 2.2.13 (Win32) MySQL 5.1.38 MySQL Community Server PHP 5.2.10 MediaWiki 1.15.1

I have installed and tested Apache. It's working. I have installed and tested MySQL. It's working. I have installed and tested PHP. It's working.

When I attempt to install MediaWiki, I get an error message telling me that it "Could not find a suitable database driver."

I have only one php.ini file on my system and according to the phpinfo() function, that is the one that is loaded.

Both the php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll are listed in php.ini and not commented out in the extensions section:

extension=php_mysql.dll extension=php_mysqli.dll

Please, can someone suggest something else to check or do that will enable me to install MediaWiki?

mysqli is not needed, just mysql.

The problemm is that, even though you have MySQL working standalone, you don't have mysql working with php. Run a phpinfo(), if mysql extension were properly installed, it would appear there.
