fedora and phpmyadmin

fuelinjection · 07-13-2005, 06:23 AM

right,

I've installed fedora, apache and mysql.

I've created a test php page, and php is working fine.

I've put phpmyadmin into my website directory but I get the following message when I visit the folder.

cannot load mysql extension;
please check PHP configuration

can anyone help with this?

Are you sure you enabled mysql in the php installation?
To check taht, create a small php page, that will look like this :

Code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

This will give you all info you need about the installed php.
Check that in the "Configure Command" row you have "--with-mysql".
If not, you'll have to recompile and add this option (or install a package named php-mysql) so that php can connect with mysql.

Good luck.

hi,

i checked my phpinfo and it says --without-mysql in the configure command. however, yesterday i recompiled php with mysql extensions, made, and installed it with no errors. is there something else i need to do to update the server to know to use the new installation of php?

thanks

are you using fedora or another distro?

If your using fedora then you might need to install the mysql-php link.

I think it's something like

# yum install php-mysql

that should install php with the mysql setup. I think thats what my problem was.

Heres what I did from start to finish
