(Resolved) Apache Mysql Php: mysql with php doesn't work
Hola
I compiled and installed the latest version of apache, mysql and php just the other day. I have just gotten around to testing to make sure that all 3 work with each other and I did this by creating:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","")
or die("sorry - unable to connect to MySQL");
echo("Congrats - it's working");
?>
</body>
</html>
Now if all was working fine I should have seen the "Congrats" message when viewing the file saved as php on apache. I know that the apache is working and that php is working... however when trying to view that partuicular file I get an error message:
Quote:
Warning: Unknown(/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/index.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0
Now unfortunately, I'm a php / mysql "know nothing" at the moment (soon to change hopefully) but I'm not sure where to go from this error. I checked the php info file and something strange I noticed is the MySQL section:
Quote:
Client API version 3.23.49
Now I know 100% that I compiled in the latest mysql which happens to be 4.0.17: so could this be my problem?
Any help really appreciated and merry christmas too

I had a problem similar to this. Did you compile php from source or use the rpm ? When you compile it from source, you have to tell it to use mysql so go ./configure --help | grep SQL and you should see something relevant.
I had already done this as soon as I had installed and compiled mysql. I can actually access the mysql prompt now doing /usr/local/mysq/bin/mysql -u root -p, it's just that php doesn't seem to be interacting with it. That combined with the phpinfo file showing me that the mysql version is 3.23 which is way out. :|
I guess I'm going to have to remove apache php and mysql and start over... thanks anyway
The problem has been resolved. When I compiled php I just the switch "--with-mysql" when what I really should have done was "--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql".. the documentation didn't make me aware of this. I noticed after deciding to re-compile php again and my console window was larger and I saw the very top bit of the end of configure message which mentioned what switch to use if I had installed mysql and didn't want to use phps own builtin mysql.
