[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.15.1 on Vista Home Premium Edition install error

[cknell at onebox.com]

I checked the log. There is no indication of any problems there. I have never received an apache-specific error.

According to the installation instructions I'm using, I have created a PHP page that calls the phpinfo() function which returns a page listing the configuration particulars for my set up.

When I run that PHP info page, there is no section concerning MySQL. Others have told me there should be one. MySQL is referenced many times in other sections of the output, always pointing to the correct directory and never commented out.

Part of that output reads:

;Default port number for mysql_connect(). If unset, mysql_connect() will use
;the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the 
;compile-time value defined at MYSQL_PORT (in that order). Win32 will only look
;at MYSQL_PORT.
mysql.default_port =

Now, I'm confused by $MYSQL_TCP_PORT. Is this an environment variable? It doesn't have the format for a Windows environment variable, but I don't know what else it might be.

There is no entry in /etc/services connected with MySQL.

Likewise, what does MYSQL_PORT refer to

Is any of that relevant to my situation?

Have you looked at your Apache error log?

Have you copied the libmysql.dll file from the PHP directory to 
c:\windows\system32? Even with the c:\php folder in my path it didn't 
work for me until I did that. Apache had the following error as well:
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 
'C:/PHP/ext/php_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.

Here is my config:
Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
apache_2.2.13-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8k
mysql-essential-5.1.38-win32
php-5.2.10-Win32
