Okay, so I have ALL teh settingt right, Mysql is picked, I type in the DB name, and user info, and its on localhost. Then when I click submit I ALWAYS get this message:

Error: Datbaase driver mysql is not installed. Available drivers: ADO,ExampleP,Proxy

Any ideas WHY?!?

You should have searched the Links SQL forum before posting as this question has been answered before.

You don't have the mysql database driver installed. DBD::mysql

I didn't say you didn't have mysql, I said you didn't have the mysql driver.

Try installing it to see if it fixes the problem.

Try

perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::mysql'

from telnet/ssh. I'm not 100% sure that will do the trick but I think it will.

I don't use telnet?
Any other way?

If this is a "local" web server, then you can use the MSDOS application. If this a "remote" web server, you really need shell access to the box in order to run commands like the ones listed above.

Some FTP programs, including WS_FTP, do allow you to run shell commands...
