Hello,
I am facing some problem.

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

What can I do to solve this problem?

The problem is that your Mysql extension are not enabled on the server so you have to enabled them with php.ini file. Please check and let me know if you are still facing the issue.

Hi NANCY!
You can follow the following steps to fix the issue :

Quote:

1. Un-comment / Removed the ; from extenion=php_mysql.dll and mysqli.dll in php.ini
2. Change the extension_dir= (location where php is installed)
3. Keep in mind the IUSR_computername have permission for the php folder
4. Keep in mind that the required mysql.dll and mysqli.dll are present in php/ext folder
5. Copy the libmsql.dll from \mysql\bin folder to \php if you need.
