Hey Everyone,

I have two boxes that that are both running Hoary, one at home and another at work. I was testing drupal (www dot drupal dot org) on my box at home to see how the web interface looked and set up apache2, php4, php4-mysql, mysql, and a few others through apt. Everything works great.

So, I went to do the same with my server at work and when I get the famed:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() when loading up the first web page.

I looked at the output from phpinfo() on both machines and noticed that php (PHP Version 4.3.10-10ubuntu4.1) was not compiled with mysql (config option --without-mysql).

However, my box at home has a section that says that mysql is enabled and a table listing the various directives whereas the machine at work does not. So far I can tell no difference in the install packages and in php.ini.

Does anyone have any ideas that can help me get php4 to recognize mysql? Where should I start looking?

Thanks,

Make sure that you have an option in php.ini saying "extension=mysql.so". If that is there then it just sounds like you haven't restarted apache.
