Not sure if this is a bug, or an issue with my configuration.

I'm trying to install drupal 7 beta 1 onto my web server but getting stuck at the database configuration stage.

The database configuration page only gives me a choice for SQLite

Its a Windows server running PLESK which states the server components to be :

PHP ver 5.2.6
MySQL: MySQL 5.0.45
I have amended the php.ini file so that it has the pdo settings uncommented
(extension=php_pdo.dll, extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll)

I've set up the domain to use ISAPI instead of CGI for running PHP ( I've never had a problem with this running drupal 6 on the server)

am I missing something?

Check the mysql start up logs (make sure you're logging into them first!) it's likely that the PDO extensions are failing to load. Possibly because you don't actually have them!... Or because you didn't restart your server?

did a search and found the .dll files and noticed that Plesk has its own php.ini file in a different location. I edited this file and rebooted server and all worked fine. I know have drupal 7 beta working on a windows server to play with ... woop!
