    I have Mysql 4.0x and Php 5.0x installed on my computer. Whenever i try to install program like phpbb on my machine it gives error

    Your php configuration doesn't support the database you have choosen

    Phpmyadmin also gives the same kind of error

    cannot load mysql extension;please check PHP configuration

    How i solve this problem.

    You would need to recompile PHP to include MySQL functions (or install a version of PHP that has it already compiled in).

    If you're using windows and apache it is completely different that recompiling php.

    What operating system are you running php with?

    If you use Windows try to copy the "libMySQL.dll" from mysql/bin/ to windows/system32/

    wamp is great for everything. I have been using it for 1.5 years now and I have no problems with it.

    Windows is alot easier to configure PHP and MySQL. Under Linux, you would have to recompile PHP with the MySQL libraries and such (can be a pain).
