Re: Configuring PHP5 with MySQL support

[Russ Fineman]

I'm having a simular problem. SuSE 10.0, mysql-4.1.13-3, apache2-2.0.54-10 and php5-5.0.4-9. The only mysql.so I can find on my system is located at:

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i586-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so

I installed from the SuSE rpms for these products and also installed phpMyAdmin. If I execute a script with phpinfo() I do not see any section on mysql. (I did see this under SuSE 9.1 with earlier versions of PHP , apache and mysql. And it worked). When i try phpMyAdmin i get the following error:

cannot load mysql extension;
please check PHP configuration
Documentation

Under the module section of php.ini there are no commented extensions, per other news groups. Do I add extension=mysql.so and if so in which php.ini. it exists in:
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Phpinfo says it reads /etc/php5/apache2 and /etc/conf.d
conf.d has the mysql.ini and the other required extensions but no php,ini.

I am getting confused and any help would be greatly appreciated.
