    I cannot post the URL to the site because I am using Instant WordPress and it is not public access.

    I am not able to access WordPress Dashboard it indicates:
    Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

    Can someone kindly help me? I am new at this and don’t know what to do.

    Thank you.

    I really don’t know specifically, but you’d need to move the database and the site files. See if the documentation for IWP has any info about how to move a site.

    Okay, I will also see if Seamus can help me with moving the files.

    I thank you so very much for your kind work.

    Can you login to your phpMyAdmin (MySQL Admin) in your Instant WordPress installation? Do you have a saved copy of your database?

    Krishna, thank you. This is what it says when I attempt to login:

    phpMyAdmin – Error

    Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. – Documentation

    I have all the files and folder in Instant WordPress.

    1. When did you get the error – while trying to login to MySQL Admin?
    2. Do you have a backup of your database?

    I got the error while trying to logiin into MySQL.

    I do not have a backup that I made but even though I am not able to access the Web site I created, I have access to the files and folder.

    Download a fresh copy of Instant WordPress and try to install it. Possibly it may solve your problem if it just rewrites the missing files – not sure though. If that does not help, though possibly you may lose your MySQL database, just delete Instant WordPress and reinstall it from a fresh downloaded copy.

    You may always keep copies of your database so that in such cases you can always restore your site if anything goes wrong.

    One more note: If you can login to your WordPress dashboard (NOT My SQL Admin) you can use the export tool and download a copy of your database and use that copy to restore your work after reinstalling Instant WordPress.

    How do I login to WordPress dashboard? I am not able to get into the dashboard because of the PHP issue.

    Then your only option is to reinstall Instant WordPress.

    Thank you very much for your kind help.

    I spoke with the developer who said that MySQL is not missing it is not running. So I must figure out why it is not running.
