I recently installed Red Hat Enterprise Advanced Server 3. As part of the install, I asked it to install MySQL and Apache 2. I have discovered that PHP does not seemed to have been installed with MySQL support:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/test.php on line 6 But when I look at <? phpinfo(); ?> is see: I see that it has been configured with --with-mysql=shared,/usr. Within php.conf (which gets included in the httpd.conf), is this line: LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so Also when I run phpinfo() is see that --with-mysql=shared,/usr is there, so when php was installed it should have been compiled with MySQL support. php.ini says this about MySQL: [MySQL] ; Allow or prevent persistent links. mysql.allow_persistent = On ; Maximum number of persistent links. -1 means no limit. mysql.max_persistent = -1 ; Maximum number of links (persistent + non-persistent). -1 means no limit. mysql.max_links = -1 ; Default port number for mysql_connect(). If unset, mysql_connect() will use ; the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the ; compile-time value defined MYSQL_PORT (in that order). Win32 will only look ; at MYSQL_PORT. mysql.default_port = ; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in ; MySQL defaults. mysql.default_socket = ; Default host for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). mysql.default_host = ; Default user for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). mysql.default_user = ; Default password for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode). ; Note that this is generally a *bad* idea to store passwords in this file. ; *Any* user with PHP access can run 'echo get_cfg_var("mysql.default_password") ; and reveal this password! And of course, any users with read access to this ; file will be able to reveal the password as well. mysql.default_password = ; Maximum time (in secondes) for connect timeout. -1 means no limimt mysql.connect_timeout = -1 ; Trace mode. When trace_mode is active (=On), warnings for table/index scans and ; SQL-Erros will be displayed. mysql.trace_mode = Off Also, I see mysql.so at ./usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so Do I need to declare this in php.ini? Such as: extension=mysql.so Any HELP would me appreciated!
