Php + mysql + apache + phpbb = Long time

[JCool451]

I managed to setup MySQL with a user called phpbb and a database called phpbb. I installed the newest php and am using a fairly new apache. (installed php with the mysql flag)

I enter in all the info for the installation of phpBB, then I get "The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type that you chose".

I would search more, but I've been working on getting this forum up for so many hours. A combination of impatience and lack of sleep are oversweeping me, so I cry out to this forum for help. (Meaning, please don't bash me if it's a simple problem. ;))

Thanks in advance.

I'm just trying to help, but perhaps you should:
A) change your PHP configuration to meet your DB
or
B) find a DB that is supported by your PHP configuration
:(

Just a wild guess - but the 'config' file for your phpbb application may be set up to use some other database than MySQL?
