Hi.

I am getting an error when I try to run the wordpress
wp-admin/install.php script:

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


This is OpenBSD 4.2 with:

mysql-client-5.0.45 multithreaded SQL database (client)
mysql-server-5.0.45 multithreaded SQL database (server)
p5-DBD-mysql-3.0008 MySQL drivers for the Perl DBI
p5-DBI-1.53         unified perl interface for database access
p5-Net-Daemon-0.39  extension for portable daemons
p5-PlRPC-0.2018p0   module for writing rpc servers and clients
php5-core-5.2.3     server-side HTML-embedded scripting language
php5-extensions-5.2.3 informational package about PHP5 extensions
php5-mysql-5.2.3    mysql database access extensions for php5
php5-mysqli-5.2.3   mysql database access extensions for php5


I have created a blank mysql database,  and given it a password.
MySQL starts on boot fine,  and I can use mysqladmin to my heart's
content. I used phpxs to load php5-mysqli (and php5-mysql,  after I
got desperate).

Loading a phptest.php file on the webserver demonstrates that php is
working just fine.

I have configured the wp-config.php file to point to the database that
I have created.  I even specified the mysql.default.port = 3306 in the
php.ini file after I found someone fixed their problem by doing this
on a fedora system.

I am sure (well,  I am hoping!) that there is something obvious and
dumb that I've overlooked.  Or that I didn't find documented, but that
some of the genii in misc can help me with.

TIA
