VISTA: can't load mysql 5.0.27 on PHP 5.2.0

[phpguru]

i'm using Vista RTM, and so then
my PHP module can load mysql 5.0.27.

Apache version: 2.0.55 ( ok )
PHP version: 5.2.0 ( unzip package - ok)
MySQL version: 5.0.27 ( connection is ok only with cmd line )

so, what's the problem.
i tried with this solution:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/

but it's take no effect.

what's the step i have been lost?

Is there a mysql line from your phpinfo page?

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

I just wanted to mention that I used WAMP to set up Apache, PHP, and MySQL on Windows Vista Ultimate (64bit) and it was completely painless. I haven't really tried setting up alias directories, but the whole thing was running in less than 5 minutes and included mysql and mysqli extensions.

Worth considering if you're having trouble.
