I have downloaded and installed all the constituent parts of MediaWiki 1.15.1 on Windows Vista Home Premium Edition.
Apache works PHP works MySQL is installed via the .msi package. The MySQL bin directory is in the path as verified by opening a CL window and typing "echo %PATH%"
I have installed MediaWiki according to the instructions, and when I point my browser to it, I get a message telling me that:
PHP 5.2.10 installed Could not find a suitable database driver!
It then goes on to describe how to compile PHP depending on which database I plan to use.
I think there must be some simple error int he PHP configuration file that is holding things up, but as a novice with this technology, I am hoping that one of you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Having MySQL bin in the path is not needed (but handy for the client finding libmysql.dll). What you do need is to have mysqld running.

I bet you haven't enabled mysql extension for php. You need to edit php.ini and uncomment the php_mysql.dll extension. Also, make sure extension_dir is pointing to the right folder.

Hi Charles, Did u try with WAMP? You can download it from http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php After the wamp installation copy the phase3 folder to wamp/www directory.It worked for me and mediawiki was installed succesfully.
Thanks & Regards, Isuru
