And who dropped the ball mySQL or php? And for "libmysql.dll" - I've *never* dumped any of mysql stuff into the system32 folder.... maybe that's where you went wrong with it...

Aaaaanyways....

well maybe I did not need to move that file, but it was from one tutorial (+ previous ones I remember trying when I first had failed this) so I did it. I also noticed after my last post here that the specific file was also missing from the MSI but in the zip.

Also good question on who dropped the ball... I want to say php because I felt they were missing so much and all configuration needed to be done from there end (and it used to work auto with php4 apparently), but then again mysql could have designed it so it configured itself the same way php configures itself to which ever HTTP client you select.
