Damn PHP/Mysql, why the hell is it not working ?

    I'm trying to install PHP/apache/mysql on another pc, but damn so much frustration... After hours of trying incompatible php/apache i finally got that working, but now i cant get mysql to work in combination with php ! I use PHP Version 5.1.6 and Apache 2. As PHP 5 doesnt have mysql extension on by default, i uncommented extension=php_mysql.dll and restarted apache.
    Ok, so i make this page which echos phpinfo() and open it, all php info shows but NO MYSQL SECTION. Why ?? What did i forget ?
    It worked instantly on another pc...
    Anyone got any advice?

    Running on windows or Unix/Linux? (EDIT: it windows i guess from .ddl)
    PHP compiled with MySQL support or not?
    Have uncomented the respective AddModule/LoadModule lines or not?

    Windows yes.
    For php i dowloaded the zip for windows:
    http://www.php.net/downloads.php
    and unzipped it in c:\php
    So i'm not sure if compiled with mysql support...


    in httpd.conf i added:

    LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

    Any reason you're doing the installation and set up by hand as opposed to using an all-in-one installer like XAMPP from apachefriends.org?

    I got over trying to get these things working by myself years ago...

    Yeah i prefer to do it manually because that way i learn the most about it. Even though all the frustration makes me want to use something like XAMPP :p
    But i got it to work on another PC, so i cant handle the fact that it doesnt work on this one with the same steps!

    Yeah, I can understand that... like I say, though, I got over that pretty quickly :)

    Anyway, just off the top of my head, have you looked in your log files to see if there are any clues as to why it's not loading? I have a feeling it'll be in your Apache logs somewhere...
