the install said joomla installed message when try access either site or admin section.

database error: unable load database driver:mysql

i have double checked db setting in configuration.php

they are:
/* database settings */
var $dbtype = 'mysql';
var $host = 'localhost';
var $user = 'tomagrubb';
var $password = 'xxxxxxxx'; (the password xxed out posting here match here , in database.)
var $db = 'joom1';
var $dbprefix = 'joom1';

configuration.php not set install. had manually.

are there other places need edit manually?

when installing getting message said xml not working safe continue install. leads me believe tech @ hosting company did not know talking about. when checked php zlib off turned on, there no reference xml , not know how that. not know how check version of php have. have requested upgrade php 5.2.5 mysql, xml , zlib enabled. guessing going come me "i have myself" cheap vps ($31.00 month) , budget issue.

what best course of action now? server vps

hi,
have tried running phpinfo() script on server detailed in installation manual. give definitive settings web server.
