Answer 1

Make sure you created the Wordpress Database before installing wordpress.

Answer 2

It means you did not provide proper credentials for setting up WordPress, or your MySQL server is down, or certain libraries are missing, or, as the message says, your Web host does not have MySQL installed.



Contact your Web host to solve these problems.

Answer 3

It's hard to tell. That can be numerous reasons.



1. add ISS_IUSRS as a user on the php.exe

2. add IUSR_COMPUTERNAME and "Network Service" to have read/execute access to C:\PHP

3. change ";extension=php_mysql.dll" to "extension=php_mysql.dll" (remove the leading semicolon)

4. (FOR PHP5) In php.ini file, fixed the "extension_dir" to point to "./ext/" - restart apache
