 * Good morning,
 * I am new to WordPress, and have a SQL Server 2008 back end with ASP.NET.
 * I have php working, I installed all the bits, as far as I can tell with this 
   so far.
 * I have been following [Install WordPress on SQL Server](http://wordpress.visitmix.com/development/installing-wordpress-on-sql-server#prerequisites)&
   [WordPress – Getting Started](http://wordpress.visitmix.com/getting-started) 
   guides so far.
 * I got to the Install WordPress portion of setting up your wp-config.php file,
   and I hit:
 *     ```
       Your PHP installation appears to be missing all the database extensions (mysql, mysqli, mssql, sqlsrv, pdo) which are supported by WP Db Abstraction Plugin.
       ```
   
 * Am I missing something?
 * Thanks,
    Valsedai

 * valsedai, does wp and asp.net work together ?? Check this out first.
    I may be
   wrong here but you may have to get some interface working between them

 * The problem is how you’ve installed PHP. PHP is really a godo base, but to work
   with databases (and a lot of other things) it needs the extensions installed 
   as well as just the main PHP program.
 * The error message tells you exactly what the problem is. You haven’t installed
   the extensions that are required for database access to be available.
 * Unfortuantely installing the extensions is outside of my range of expertise, 
   and I haven’t had to try to do anything like that on a Windows server before,
   but I’m sure that there will be a lot of resource saround if you search for them.
