Hi Guys,

phpinfo() says mysql is supported, but I'm suspicious.

I have a very simple page which is supposed to just open a connection to a
database;


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
/home/groups/home/web/mysql_test.php on line 10

Malcolm, just because it says that it is configured in, does NOT mean that
is all you need to do.

Chances is that it is configured in as a static library. (.SO), so you will
need to look at your PHP.INI file, and see if you see


;Extensions

extension=mysql.so

If there is a ";" semi colon, remove it, then.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

That works on a RaQ, I don't touch Qubes, but it should be the same. 

Also, you will want to look further down in your "PHPINFO()" for something
that looks like this:

mysql
MySQL Support enabled 
Active Persistent Links  0  
Active Links  0  
Client API version  3.23.54  
MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE  external  
MYSQL_SOCKET  /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock  
MYSQL_INCLUDE  -I/usr/include/mysql  
MYSQL_LIBS  -L/usr/lib -lmysqlclient  

If you do NOT have it, it won't work.

Good Luck,

Brian
