Jeff -

Thanks for your comments.

I just now reviewed things and made a couple of changes in the PHP.INI
file to agree with what you have. I also added the PHPRC system
variable. But, it didn't change the outcome any - I'm still getting
the same error. It just does not seem to recognize that MySQL is
there.

FWIW, I have a very similar installation working on another computer
here in my office. The only difference between the two - that I know
of - is that the functioning one is using CGI whereas this one uses
ISAPI. However, I have no idea if this could be the problem or not.

At least I'm glad to find out that I'm not the only one with this
problem. I'm also glad this is not a critical installation - I've been
stuck on this for about 10 days now.

If I stumble across something, I'll be sure and post it here.

Martin
