I've been trying to install mysql. I installed that new PHP5 that just came out with the zip file. I configured in php.ini where the .dll files are: c:/php/ext/. Then I uncommented php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll. When I restarted apache 1.3.31, my server, it said that it could not find those files in c:/php/ext/. Though the file is right there. So then I did research and found that those files needed libmysql.dll and libmysqli.dll to load. However, those files are already sitting nice and cozy in c:/php, and I copied them to c:/php/ext just in case.

Just ran through this _exact_ issue myself. Put the libmysql.dll files in the windows/system32/ directory. That fixed everything for me. If you have had a previous version of PHP, make sure that you copy the libmysql.dll that came with the PHP5 zip and overwrite the existing file . I am too embarassed to admit how long it took me to figure this out :)
