are you sure in your php.ini file you have uncommented everything you need to, such as the mysqli.so line and so on? Just because it says you have Mysql does not mean mysqli is available. Or you can do the same with the pdo option.
Turns out this was the case. I just had to enter
extension=/...path.../mysql.so
in my php.ini. Well, chalk up the last hour or so to my stupidity. I thought that it was included in the mysql extension already.
