cdikland Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 After about a 3 years 'vacation' I just installed Apache 2.2.4 along with Php v5.2.4 and MySQL v5.0.n on my PC running XP. Here is (one of) my problem(s) It would appear I missed somethings in the install or configuration of PHP as I can not connect to my database. In fact I dont get an error message at all just a generic "Website cannot display this page" error. I went as far as to strip the php file down to 1 line of php code only and the resulting file (without the HTML) looks like this ' ' ' <?php $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "cdikland", "meridian") OR DIE("Connect Error : ".mysql_error()); ?> ' ' ' The result? The error message I indicated above.. I checked my PHP.ini file which contains [php_MSSQL] extension=php_mssql.dll [php_MYSQL] extension=php_mysql.dll The Mysql database exists and I can access it either with admin tools or php version 4.2.n running on another server What could I be missing???
