Configure PHP to support the database type that you chose, or alternatively, choose a database type that is supported by the configuration of PHP you have already...
Try a forum search for this and you'll find it's already been answered properly plenty of times - 'phpbb database type', all terms.

| its the same PHP and the same DB type as i used before. everything is the same. i saved everything to CD when i re installed windows. I reinstalled everything just as it was before and PHPbb wont install. php is setup on server just as it was as well. besides seting up php on the server where do i configure php in general to help with this problem. im using Mysqladministrator. |

Apparantly you didn't do such a good job of copying everything then.
Re-enable the mysql module in php; I'm sure a search for "php_mysql.dll" would assist you there.

Indeed, they may well not be compatible, but that's not what's causing this error.
If you've done exactly like was said in the URL I gave you then the same error should not persist. Search your computer for other files named php.ini and delete all but the one you modified.
