Database Type = "None" Only Option Available

Post by drhansenjr » Thu Aug 21, 2014 3:15 pm

I am attempting to set up Joomla 3.3 for the first time in a WAMP environment. In the Database Configuration page, the only option under "Database Type" is "None". I have confirmed that MySQL is working. I can access it from the Windows command line and Heidi. One clue may be that I see sections for "mysqlnd" in phpinfo, but nothing saying just "mysql" or "mysqli"

Any suggestions?

You should have msyql and mysqli. You should enable them in the php.ini file (I think they are now integrated into php so no need to install another extension)

Both are uncommented in php.ini. I'm obviously missing something. FPA shows that mysql/mysqli are not enabled:

Solved this by adding a PHPIniDir line to my httpd.conf

What about curl, mbstring and mod_rewrite ?
