jotate Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 All of this was set up before I started working here, so I'm trying to just get things working without uninstalling/reinstalling anything, at least until I have no other choice. I'm having trouble finding any php-mySQL support for the version installed on our CentOS box. mysql.so doesn't exist within the php4 folder, so I can only assume that when it was all set up, the php-mySQL extension wasn't installed. So I'm looking for the library to install it and set everything, but I'm coming up short. I found this and found many versions of RPMs for CentOS containing the needed mysql.so file but, in addition for having no idea which version I need to be using, they seem to have dependencies for things that I don't have. Being a relative noob at most of what I'm doing here, I have no idea how RPMs are specifically handled or where these dependencies should be located. Any help = much appreciated.

trq Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'm not a CentOS user (Gentoo / Debian) but I'm sure it has a package manager (Yum?). Have you tried using the package manager to locate and install mysql support for php? Try typing.... yum search mysql php in a term. Failing that.... man yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jotate Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Huzzah! "yum search php-mysql" yielded a few updates, all shown as "php-mysql.i386". Then: yum install php-mysql.i386 It went through a bunch of stuff, very little of which I understand, but now it's working! Many thanks!
