Topic: MySQL use

Hi, I tested your forum and it's very efficient! However I have a question. In the homepage of the project you say that the forum can be used with MySQL. But when I try to install it, it ask me for a SQLite database (well tells me that SQLite is not properly configured so that the forum can't be installed). The fact is that I don't want to use SQLite but MySQL as the forum database. How can I do this?

Thanks for your help and great job!

Re: MySQL use

Don't you get the option in the dropdown menu?

Re: MySQL use

If it isn't an option in the drop down menu then it means that PHP on your server doesn't have MySQL support enabled, you will need to fix that then MySQL will be an option.

Re: MySQL use

Then also make sure you're version of MySQL is up to date, minimum version supported is 4.1.2

Re: MySQL use

Thanks to all for your help, the problem was that the dlls directory wasn't in the Windows path. Everything works fine now and I was able to install FluxBB with MySQL.

Cheers,
Olivier.
