title: "The mysqli extension is missing" but it is located in the extension directory
body: <p>I am setting up PHPMyAdmin to run on IIS 8. I have followed the steps in this tutorial: <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php</a></p>
  
  <p>However, PHP is complaining:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The mysqli extension is missing.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I confirmed that php_mysqli.dll is uncommented and that the dll is located in the correct file location:</p>
  
  <p>extension=php_mysqli.dll</p>
  
  <p>extension_dir = "C:\php\ext"</p>
  
  <p>I rebooted the website after ensuring this was the case and I continue getting the error.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  Adding </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php 
  phpinfo(); 
  exit;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gives me this for mysqli config:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mysqlnd 5.0.11-dev - 20120503 - $Id: bf9ad53b11c9a57efdb1057292d73b928b8c5c77 $</p>

  <p>as the client api library version.</p>
