needing help to setup a phpbb forum

[psiphus]

hi, recently i've tried to setup a phpbb forum using IIS v5.1 on a xp machine. i've installed mysql and php v5 but when i tried to install the forum i get the following msg "The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type that you chose".
i've searched all over the internet but still could not resolve this problem so plz help me.

p.s. i've also created a db under the mysql extensions.

I don't use it - but are you sure phpBB is PHP 5 compatible? Their web site doesn't seem to indicate it is.

Which version of MySQL do you have installed? The error is because the username and password you are using to connect to the database with are incorrect.
