The MyBB Requirements check failed due to the reasons below. MyBB installation cannot continue because you did not meet the MyBB requirements. Please correct the errors below and try again:

MyBB requires one or more suitable database extensions to be installed. Your server reported that none were available.

I don't understand what's going on. I've installed both PHP and MySQL. What is this error/and the fix?
Assuming your using MySQL. In your php.ini file, find and remove the semicolon from the following line:
;extension=php_mysql.dll
Also on PHP 5.2.0 you need to add libmysql.dll, which is found in your php folder, to your windows folder or add the path to your php to the default paths.
If you use Windows this is.

If you are running on localhost I would suggest using an integrated program like xampp. (http://xampp.org/) If not, I would suggest contacting your host and requesting mysql or mysqli to be installed.
yes for xampp but apache doesn't want run, i dont' know change the apache's port on xampp. when i modify httpd.conf apache doesn't work !
i want connect my forum on the web and xampp it's for localhost...
I know. That's what I said. In that case you'll need to pay for a host, or use a free one that supports ftp uploading, mysql database, and php.
