PostNuke Apache MySQL RedHat

5amYan · 07-18-2002, 11:30 AM

OK trying to get PN running.
Apache installed. check
MySQL. check
PHP. check
run PostNuke install.php
and

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in /var/www/html/install/newinstall.php on line 36

Line 36 is where the DB is queried.

Code:

mysql_pconnect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass);

So I haven't set the DB password....look up the means of setting pass.

says do
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new_pass'

Uhoh no mysqladmin on my box!!!

Anyone know where I can find it or how to set the password manually or any other work around?

Mines located at '/usr/bin/mysqladmin'

Sounds to me like php might not be configured with mysql support.

If your php install is from the redhat cd's, be sure to also install php-mysql.rpm

php-mysql is there but so is just php.
Should I rremove the non-mysql php?

if u remove the php rpm it means u have a php extension and no php engine
