Setting up MySQL locally

programming
1

I have an apache server currently running php on my local machine. I had MySQL set up too but I forgot my login info - therefore I uninstalled it and re-installed it.

Now the MySQL database itself seems to be working, but php can’t talk to MySQL. When I try to run phpMyAdmin I get

“Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration.”

My file structure is as follows:
Root Apache Folder: c:/WebServer/
Root PHP Folder: c:/WebServer/PHP/
Root MySQL Folder: c:/WebServer/MySQL/

I have php.ini in my Windows directory, and it contains the following line:
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = “c:\WebServer\PHP\ext”

Does anyone see why PHP can’t find the MySQL extension? I’m running PHP 5.2.6 and MySQL 5.1.

Thanks.
