Hi,

I can't get past the wizard setup, it's complaining about "1. Missing database handler".

I've got php4-mysql and mysql-server installed from the testing dist. I can run phpmyadmin on the box and I can also connect via MySQL Control Center.

I'm guessing Exponential isn't seeing the mysql server ..... how can I let it know that the server is there and running?

Hi

I'm not a Debian man (we run FreeBSD), but a good place to start is to make a phpinfo file in the same directory and in the same virtual host as the Exponential installation. Those the phpinfo find any Mysql client ?
