Description:
In installation step 4 when MW is supposed to list available DBs it gives me this error:
[670fe058] /wiki/mw-config/index.php Exception from line 788 of /var/www/wiki/includes/db/Database.php: DatabaseBase::factory no viable database extension found for type 'mysql'
Backtrace:
#0 /var/www/wiki/includes/installer/WebInstallerPage.php(487): DatabaseBase::factory(string)

#4 {main}
I don't have mysql installed and I don't want to use mysql. I want to install MW with PostgreSQL. but it seems it's looking for mysql and gives error when it can't find it or something.
