I already have one other virtual site using mysql with the apache/php
installation.( A bugzilla site)
So in my php.ini I have enabled
extension=php_mysql.dll
I have libmysql.dll in my path.
The bugzilla site works fine.
Also I have installed phpmyadmin on the site I'm having problem with and
this works ok too. I can see the database/tables etc.
So I think the basic php/mysql stuff is working ok.
As I replied to the other poster, I can't see any info in the apache error
logs showing what is happening.
All I see in a browser is a mostly black screen, with a few images displayed
from elements that should be on the page and some php code fragments.
