Recompile PHP5 with mysql support in Redhat

pr_fj · #1 27-May-2008, 18:02

hi there,

I am a newbie. I have been given a test server to install the typo3 cms. but before i could start, i need to get something done first.

When i looked at the phpinfo(), i see that it has

Code:

'--without-mysql' '--without-gd' '--without-odbc'

I know that mysql is installed since i can login via command line as root.

in /etc/php.d/ i find that mysql.ini file is not there, so i created one and set the mysql extension hoping that it will work

Code:

[root@webtest php.d]# more mysql.ini
; Enable mysql extension module
extension=mysql.so

But it didnt. I still have without-mysql in php. Can someone please help me here. I do not know what to do.
thanks

this is some information

Code:

[root@webtest /]# more /proc/version

We had the same trouble with one of our Redhat servers.

It turned out that, for whatever reason, there are two RPM packages in the distribution, php with mysql, and php without mysql, and the package without mysql is installed by default.

So, it might be a simple matter of uninstalling the current package and installing the other that has the MySQL support built-in. That's all we had to do.

well,

after so much searching, this is what i do.

Code:

#yum search php-mysql
#yum install php-mysql
#service httpd restart

and this got my php and mysql working together.

Code:

#php -m

listed mysql now.

Hope this is useful to those who are trying to solve the same problem.
