Thread:Project:Support desk/Invalid Database Type Error During Installation/reply (3)

Thanks for the quick feedback. I do have php5-mysql installed, but there certainly could be something wrong with the configuration.

I just installed WordPress, as you've recommended, and get a similar error. The database setup page tells me that a field cannot be left blank, when that field is not blank on the page. Seems to be the same phenomenon you've described when MediaWiki gets nothing in the DB engine field.

I'll keep messing with this now that I know the culprit, but any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
