Hi everyone.. I want to install phpBB2 on my server.. I'm running apache2.0.40, php 4.2.2 and MySQL 2.23.56.. So I go to /phpBB2/install/install.php and fill out the information, and when I do install it tells me that "The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type that you chose".. When i go to my phpinfo.php it gives me all the details and all the databases
dbx
dbx support enabled
dbx version 1.0.0
supported databases MySQL
ODBC
PostgreSQL
Microsoft SQL Server
FrontBase
Oracle 8 (not really)
Sybase-CT

I don't know what the problem is.. I was wondering if you guys had this problem already and fixed it.. Thanks for any help.

Your SQL is older than dirt

You might consider updating to at least 3.x I'm currently using 4.0.13 and it's working just fine with that.

Cool

Lol sorry... I put the wrong SQL ver.. I have 3.23.56, well anyways I fixed my problem.. For everyone out there with the problem this is what I did..
rpm -e httpd
rpm -e php

Well.. rpm -e everything that has to do with httpd and php... Then I downloaded httpd-2.0.47.tar and php-4.3.3.tar and installed them and everything was running smooth... So here is the link where i got the info from
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php
Now one more thing... In that link they say to edit your httpd.conf.. in the old apache this file was in /etc/httpd/conf directory.. SO when I was doing locate httpd.conf.. That was the location I was getting which is wrong.. The location for that file in apache 2.0.47 is /usr/local/apache2/conf
Ok after you follow all the instruccion in the php.net manual all you have to do for php to work is paste this line in the httpd.conf

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

The part about the
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
Was already in the httpd.conf so you do not have to do this.. Well make sure is in there
Bye.. Now I have to figured out some other things..
