    Ok.

    Earlier this week I installed IIS on my windows server 2000.
    I also installed MySQL and used MySQL Administrator to create a wp database and user

    I also installed PHP and it was working.

    Wordpress MU was working but I was having problems with the links and everyone said IIS does not work very well with WPMU So I decided to get Apache.

    So this is what I did, I removed IIS installed apache moved my wordpress folder (which had all the wp files in it) to htdocs I configured apache to run PHP and php does work. However now when I go to http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin
    I get a directory of all the files in wp-admin

    if I try and go to http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php I get this error:

    "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress."

    What's wrong?

    Thanks,
    Ben

    I guess you didn't get the "Do not install on localhost. Use localhost.localdomain instead" message?

    It can be anything really, as long as your local host file has it in there, but it *will not work* with just a one-word domain like "localhost".

    I have tried using localhost.localdomain as well still does the same thing as mentioned above.

    Yes I'm using windows server 2000.

    So I guess I now have a WAMP server.

    Did you try a fresh and clean install?
