Database not supported

Help-
I recently tried to install ZenCart onto a Windows server I own (not a pro. hosting co.) I installed MySQL and php4.1 and created a database and tested through command line client, now when I run the install I get the following error - Database not supported

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).

[Close Window]

Any idea what to do other than clicking on [Close Window] and walking away??

Thanks

Re: Database not supported

You need to install the MySQL Connector for PHP, which is available from the MySQL website downloads area.

You installed:

  • Windows
  • MySQL
  • PHP
    ... but not the communicator linking MySQL and PHP ;)
