I need help getting Wordpress running locally under GAE on Windows

[lordjoe]

There is a nice article https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/wordpress on how to get wordpress running under google app engine. I am running under Windows 8 (64 Bit) I followed the steps, installed Python and PHP used a MySQL instance I had running and added wp_user as described. I verified that the helloworld app runs with GAE locally. I verified that Mysql is running, wordpress_db exists and wp_user can connect as described in the article. I created wp-config.php as described.

in php,ini in my php installation I uncommented the lines extension=php_mysql.dll

When I run as described and hit localhost:8080 I get Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress. extension=php_mysqli.dll

I tried installing http://wordpress.org/plugins/mysqli/ after putting db.php in wp_content localhost:8080 says php failure (255) with: stdout:X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.20 Content-type: text/html stderr: Stdout on the command line says ERROR:root:php failure (255) with: stdout: X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.20 Content-type: text/html

OK I am stuck - someone has gotten this running on windows but I see no troubleshooting information and am a newbie on PHP and Wordpress which I am using for political reasons

Can anyone out there offer any help

If you're new to PHP and Wordpress, you can use the WAMP installer: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#WAMP

This error occurs because PHP has deprecated all the mysql_* functions, moving instead to mysqli_*

You need to uncomment php_mysqli.dll (notice the i at the end).

I have already tried with tried with

extension=php_mysqli.dll

extension=php_mysql.dll

Neither way works

I meant 

extension=php_mysqli.dll alone and

extension=php_mysqli.dll alone 

extension=php_mysq i.dll alone together

Can you create a simple PHP page to output phpinfo() ( http://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php ) and see if that says anything about the SQL settings?

If everything looks to be fine there, can you check using mysqli's error tool to get a more detailed error message? See http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.error.php

I attached the phpinfo to the sample helloworld app  (which works) so there may be some junk at the end

I assume php would be the same for the wordpress app in the next directory
