Hello,

Just reviewed all the requirements to install Zen cart but facing a problem on set up. When reaching "Database Set up" tab, I get an error with the following.
The database type you have selected does not appear to be supported by the PHP version you have installed. You may need to check with your hosting provider to check that the database type you have selected is supported. If this is your own server, then please ensure that support for the database type has been compiled into PHP, and that the necessary extensions/modules/dll files are being loaded (esp check php.ini for extension=mysql.so, etc).

So called support (1and1.com) to learn more about the problem and was told to complete a file called web.config. Problem is, nowhere in the Zen cart manual it was asked to update such file.

What am I missing?

thanks,
Dan
