PHP Problems – Delays To ECI
I clicked on a WordPress update link on my localhost and ever since doing so all I get on the page is…
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.
That includes sites using the old version or the new version of WordPress. I have spent a whole day installing XAMP and WAMP but both have the issue. I’m went through php.ini files, copied and wasted every extension in every possibly directory without luck.
I currently cannot do any development on Easy CSV Importer. It is delaying some important changes, if you have any problems using the BETA of ECI please download the stable version. A stable beta will come very soon just as soon as I get past this and apply some changes I had planned to do today.
Thank you for your patience.
If anyone has any information on this issue it would be very welcomed.
Hope you already have fixed it by the time your seeing this comment.. but I see several articles pertaining to the situation when searching on g, did you try to lookup for that statement yet?
With regard to this error it does seem like people are achieving successful resolutions with the available solutions posted.
Try to remove all the plugins from wordpress from the plugin folder
Clean the htaccess and checl you wp-config.
Try with new fresh installed wp
and make sure you have all the dlls on the right place
some of them with the last version are not on their default place
as well make sure that everything is written correctly
I mean like mysql and etc. sometimes they miss the letters and that could cause that issue
lol I managed to get past the problem after about 10 hours. I’m shattered but I’m working a good few more hours to get a version out that works with the latest WordPress. Will release it tonight.
This is actually a critical release because previous versions do not work with WordPress 3.2.1 at all, the interface is messed up pretty bad. A new free edition has become priority due to this but I will be working long shifts to try and get all the new features added.
Yes this is going to a hit a lot of people in a bad way. Not everyone is a developer. I did read a lot of forum threads and people are seeing a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Already hosting is cashing in on it by telling people they need a better package, specifically for WordPress or just telling them to go to a more expensive Windows package. People are taking that bait easily. Developers are charging to repair the issue, all they are doing is contacting their clients hosting on their behalf and getting a PHP upgrade. Sneaky.
I went through Xampp, WAMP and AppServ. Installed and uninstalled them many times. Ended up back with my original AppServ and got it working. I even tried PHP 6 but that breaks WordPress because WordPress is using functions that will deprecate in the PHP 6.
My advice comes from a hard lesson. Upgrade PHP, Apachi and MySQL using the original binary package. I upgraded PHP on its own out of speed so I could get back to working on ECI. That cost me a days work and money lol
I copied and pasted dll files in all valid directories but I’m convinced it caused problems with WAMP, would not even start services. WAMP started working kind of once I cleaned up. But I still got the original problem of MySQL extension not loading.
