Ok, so your mysql server is actually configured since you are
able to view it access..
Try to add one more line in your httpd.conf:
And this line in your php.ini:
extension_path = %apache directory%/php/extensions/
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_msql.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
I think maybe your version of MySQLi needs mysql too..
Then now add the MySQL as a service and restart the server...
In ms-dos:
>cd %mysql_directory%
%mysql_directory%>mysqladmin -u root shutdown
%mysql_directory%>mysqld-nt --install
%mysql_directory%>net start mysql
Then should be okay le ba... Haiz.. really hope this helps....
