I have that line:

into the php directory for it to work?
On my RedHat ES 3 system--
[root@hostname etc]# cd /usr/lib/php4/
[root@hostname php4]# ls
imap.so ldap.so mysql.so
[root@hostname php4]#
you inidicated you are using php4, so look for the php4 modules
directory. It's also set in php.ini
[root@shelob etc]# grep /usr/lib php.ini
extension_dir = /usr/lib/php4
The way you get PHP working in Windows is ridiculous in IMO, but that's
another topic
Do I need to copy the mysql module to somewhere like
in windows?
Thanks

I am installing an old version of mediawiki with
the following
versions
Mediawiki 3.7.1
PHP 4.3.10-16 (apache)
MySQL 4.0.24 (the debian package)
The installation goes fine until I try to access the main page. I
then
get the error:
"MySQL Functions Missing, have you compiled PHP with the -with-mysql
option?"
Hi Mike,
PHP is pain in this regard. I've had to re-write code in PERL to
get around this in some distributions. The issue is this: in PHP,
it's
not enough to un-comment a module in the php.ini file,
for in this
case
mysql functions. PHP must be COMPILED with the
--with-mysql flag set
if you hope to use the mysql functions. I'm not sure if it's default
in the ./configure script. You can't just get the PHP mysql module
and
copy it to the PHP distribution and uncomment the
mysql module line in
php.ini
Please correct me on this if you find out otherwise, I've been
under
this impression for some reason...
Anyway, in your case --with-mysql might have been set when PHP
was
compiled. If this is Debian stable then it probably
was, but I'm not
a
Debian guy. So, if it is, then, you have to set this
; Enable mysql extension module
extension=mysql.so
In your php.ini.
Good luck,
What do I need to do to configure my php install correctly.
Thanks,
Mike
