PHP Install — problem with php/mysql installation

I am new to php and trying to setup my dev environment. I have followed the documentation to install WAMP but unable to get php work with mysql.

Operating system : Windows 7

Web server : Apache 2.2

* Running PHP as Apache module

Problem Description: http://localhost/test.php [ <?php phpinfo(); ?> ] is correctly showing me php details in the html page. It also shows mySQL and mySqli in its tabular form.

I believe this conforms that php is set up properly.

To test mysql access from php, i am using following php script: ( I have created a database "test" from mysql command line)

<?php

# Define MySQL Settings

define("MYSQL_HOST", "localhost");

define("MYSQL_USER", "root");

define("MYSQL_PASS", "password");

define("MYSQL_DB", "test");

$conn = mysql_connect("".MYSQL_HOST."", "".MYSQL_USER."", "".MYSQL_PASS."") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("".MYSQL_DB."",$conn) or die(mysql_error());

$sql = "SELECT * FROM test";

$res = mysql_query($sql);

while ($field = mysql_fetch_array($res))

{

$id = $field['id'];

$name = $field['name'];

echo 'ID: ' . $field['id'] . '<br />';

echo 'Name: ' . $field['name'] . '<br /><br />';

}

When I try to run this script http://localhost/mysql_test, it dumps me to error page:

The webpage at http://localhost/mysql_test.php might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address

I confirmed that mysql is running as a service, apache is running as a service. In apache log here is what i see:
