If you are trying to install SMF 1.1.x, then you need to have mysql installed on your server, and correctly configured with PHP.

If you are trying to install SMF 2, then you need mysql, postgresql or sqlite configured properly on your server.

Try asking your host about this issue, they can tell you if there is relevant database software installed on your server.

thanks your response.

os: win 2003
php: 5.3.0
apache: 2.2.14
MySQL: 5.1.40
smf: 2.0 rc1.2

i reinstalled the MySQL and php. but still the error has been happened. MySQL works fine.

Can you post a link to a phpinfo.php file (What is phpinfo.php?)?

Can you post a link to a phpinfo.php file

[JimM]

Your phpinfo file shows that you have MySQLnd installed.  I don't think our installer supports that yet.  That's probably why it is reporting that there is no database support.

Does not the installer support MySQL 5.1.40?
how do i can figure out the problem.?

[JimM]

Yep, however your phpinfo file does not show that as installed!  It shows MySQLnd 5.0.0-dev.

i uninstalled the "mysqlnd 5.0.5-dev - 081106 - $Revision: 1.3.2.27 $", but the phpinfo shows its installtion. can't remove.

Please see eventually: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php-mysqlnd/
As JimM noted, the first two extensions, by far the most used on various hosts, are supported by SMF, while the fourth mentioned there, the native MySQL driver, mysqlnd, available it seems since PHP 5.3 only (which is very new), is not supported.
In other words, you're missing the common MySQL-related libraries from PHP. (libmysql). Try installing it.

[six_L]

thank you very much.
i'll try.

php.ini

[PHP_MYSQL]
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

httpd.conf

# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/libmySQL.dll"

the error has still been there.

Please post a link to an updated phpinfo() file.
