CoderSteve,
This is where I am so far. MySQL is still not enabled.
Database type: MSSQL Server 2000+ via ODBC
Database server hostname or DSN: localhost
Database server port: 3306
Database name: thegrummergroup
Database username: admin@localhost
Database password: *********
Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_
I'm using MYSQL 5.5.1, I'm trying to set up phpBB3 on my server but I keep getting "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found". I opened up port 3306 in windows firewall. I created the database name and username and password in MySQL Command Line Client. I left the prefix phpbb_ like it is. I keep getting "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found". How do I get it working?
REPLY:
If it's a MySQL database, then you need to choose MySQL as the database type.
ME:
MySQL is not an option I have to choose. On the Requirements page it shows:
MySQL: Unavailable
How do I Fix that?
REPLY:
PHP5 does not have MySQL enabled by default, so you will need to enable it:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysql.installation.php
ME:
With PHP5
I added my php directory to the path on windows and restarted the computer.
I made the following edits to the php.ini file erasing the ;:
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
I put libmysql.dll in my C:/server/php
MySQL is still not an option I have to choose when trying to install phpBB3
What else to do to get MySQL enabled?
REPLY:
Did you restart all your services (or reboot the server) after doing all that?
ME:
Restarted all services and rebooted the server. Still MySQL Unavailable?
Please Help.
