Hi - I just installed a new copy of MyBB and added a theme and the following plugins:

Social Sharing Plugin
Trackback
SEO 11_b1
Sitemap Generator 1.4.0beta1

Once I installed these and activated them - I get the following error:

MyBB has experienced an internal error and cannot continue.

Error Type:
    MyBB Error (40)
Error Message:
    MyBB was unable to load the SQL extension. Please contact the MyBB Group for support. MyBB Website 

I can't login to deactivate the plugins... how can I do this in phpMyadmin

(ps - I was stoopid for activating them all at once, so have no idea which one is causing the problem)

After searching in the forum - I think its something to do with TABLE_PREFIX - but not sure
what sql type do you use? please try to use the default "mysql" (u can change this value in the inc/config.php file)
That was it Smile Brilliant pepotiger.

It was using mysqli, I did notice during the install that it defaulted to some setting I hadn't seen before - but just left it... my mistake again Sad

Thanks pepotiger
no problem mate..
