mysql and mysqli

[ScienceOfMuscle]

When I first installed the forums I set the config to mysqli but when I did the actual install it told me it couldn't do mysqli and that i needed to do mysql, however, I have the newest version of both php and mysql so I am not sure why it won't let me do it.

Once the board has been configured via mysql is there a way to change to mysqli? I am not sure how a lot of this works.

I read the Vbulletin manual and i read (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/install) :

MySQLi is an improved database layer for PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1+. It is strongly recommended that MySQLi be used if your MySQL server is at version 4.1 or higher !

I'm Puzzled :confused:

Most likely, your PHP was not compiled with MySQLi support - talk to your host.
