I'm getting the same error; but installing any type of Microsoft SQL database is NOT the answer; JOOMLA requires MySQL database. Any other suggestions? Thanks

Is a php configuration,
using phpinfo() you have to see the mysql installed,
if not installed reinstall the php and select to install even the mysql module.

Try locating and setting the following parameter in your php.ini (it is in the Dynamic Extensions section):

extension=php_mysql.dll

prior to this change, I could make a simple php script without mysql run, like this

<?php
phpinfo(();
?>

but not another one like this

<?php
echo mysql_connect ('localhost', '<yourwebuser>', '<yourwebuserpassword>');
?>

the previous should normally output something like:

Resource id #n

where n=1 or 2 or
