my mysql server starts, but while making any connection, or even logging in into phpmyadmin, it stucks,,

nothing happens,.

Common mistake is to forget to restart Apache.

dll...so I assume this is a Windows server. The Apache Monitor should be included, it's easy to left click the icon on the task bar and choose 'restart'.

Create a test.php file and put this in it:

<?php phpinfo() ?>

You should see a section (table) about MySQL or MySQLi, whichever you enabled.

If you don't, then the php<->mysql configuration is not correct. Make sure the DLL is in the correct directory, or put a copy of it in a path that's already in windows path, such as c:/windows/system32.

Don't forget to restart Apache.

Try again, if it works, then you need to make sure php extension directory can be found by PHP. (includes, PATH variable, etc...see Google)

Cheers,


Dan
