installing phpMyAdmin on Server 2008 with IIS7
I cannot get phpMyAdmin to work on my web server.
I have Server 2008 with IIS7, MySQL and PHP all working fine.
I have a few existing WordPress sites that are working fine, but I'm looking to add a few more and setup some database backup and maintenance procedures.
I've added a new site called phpMyAdmin, added the application pool.
Pointed it to the phpMyAdmin folder in inetpub and configured the config.inc.php file.
If I try to access http://localhost I get the following message:
phpMyAdmin - Error
The mysql extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. <a href="Documentation.html#f
if I try to access http://localhost/phpinfo.php, the page is blank, but if I load phpinfo.php on one of the active websites, it loads and tells me all is well.
What have I missed or got wrong?

I think you need to add the necessary php extensions for mysql. Reinstall PHP, and when going through the install you'll see the "Choose Items to install" on that screen is an extensions drop down. Go through there and install the sql extensions you need. I don't believe these are installed by default.
