 One important piece of the MySQL installation is the library file, libmysql.dll.  If Windows cannot find this file, you may get errors about a missing database driver when you try to view pages in VuFind.  Depending on which operating system/software versions you end up using, you may not have to do anything special to make this work.  However, if you run into trouble after completing the other steps of the VuFind installation process, try these options: One important piece of the MySQL installation is the library file, libmysql.dll.  If Windows cannot find this file, you may get errors about a missing database driver when you try to view pages in VuFind.  Depending on which operating system/software versions you end up using, you may not have to do anything special to make this work.  However, if you run into trouble after completing the other steps of the VuFind installation process, try these options:

   * It is possible that PHP will install some extensions without all of the necessary library files.  If this happens, starting up PHP will lead to a series of pop-up alerts.  To fix the problem, simply edit the php.ini file (usually found in c:\Program Files\PHP\, and also available via Start Menu shortcut) and comment out (by putting a semi-colon in front) the offending modules (found in lines like extension=php_*.dll).  If you actually need some of the affected modules, you may have to track down copies of the missing files; Google searches for error messages are usually helpful for this.   * It is possible that PHP will install some extensions without all of the necessary library files.  If this happens, starting up PHP will lead to a series of pop-up alerts.  To fix the problem, simply edit the php.ini file (usually found in c:\Program Files\PHP\, and also available via Start Menu shortcut) and comment out (by putting a semi-colon in front) the offending modules (found in lines like extension=php_*.dll).  If you actually need some of the affected modules, you may have to track down copies of the missing files; Google searches for error messages are usually helpful for this.
