Strange installation problem

I traced the problem down to the mysql driver.

Code:

log_message('debug', 'Reaches here');
return @mysql_pconnect($this->hostname, $this->username, $this->password);

I removed the '@' so I could see the errors generated if any. This is what printed out.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in C:\Ryan\php\CodeIgniter_1.5.3\system\database\drivers\mysql\mysql_driver.php on line 63

So it seems I am missing the mysql driver.

Mystery solved.
