  Re: phpMyAdmin ERROR Reply Contact Hi Whitetimer, Sounds like PHP is not loading you configuration file. Have a look at my article on where php.ini is loaded from and ensure that you have your PHPRC and/or INI path set in the registry. Ideally you should NOT need to copy any PHP files to your Windows directory to get PHP to work properly. Once you have done the above you can load up your phpinfo page and verify that the MySQL extension is loading. If it isn't then look at the "Loaded Configuration File" value in your phpinfo output as it should be pointing to your php.ini file. Once you have the MySQL extension loading properly you might also be interested in my guide on how to install and configure PHPMyAdmin on IIS .   ---------------- Dominic Ryan Microsoft IIS MVP www.iis-aid.com My IIS articles My PHP articles My How-to guides
