problem with mysql mysql.so

jsteegh · 12-27-2006, 06:03 AM

Hello,

I've set up my server (running slackware 10.2) and configured everything. Apache is working, php is working and the mysql server is running. But when I installed phpmysql I got the erro which says 'Cannot load mysql extension.' I've checked the php.ini file and it says 'extension=mysql.so' so I believe that's correct. And I searched for mysql.so and it is pressent.

I do not know what is wrong. I've configured my server before without having this problem. The only thing that I did different is that I installed the latest mysql 5 package.

Can someone help me?

Thanks,
Justin

You'll have to recompile php against php5 then. My guess is that php is looking for the mysql-4 version of the dynamic libraries. Try running:

Code:

$ ldd /usr/lib/php/extensions/mysql.so | grep mysql

to see if your php mysql extension library can find the correct version of the mysql client library.
In my case (Slackware 11.0):

Code:

$ ldd /usr/lib/php/extensions/mysql.so | grep mysql
        libmysqlclient.so.15 => /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15 (0xb7e6f000)

it says

Code:

libmysqlclient.so.14 => not found

I guess I have to recompile php then. Or could I also fix by using mysql 4?

Of course. The original Slackware mysql package is what the php package was compiled against...
