Fill Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hi there. I've used the Search here on the forum, and found this: Whats Os are you running, Windows or linux/Max? If its windows read this FAQ With PHP5 you need to enable the mysql_extension. If you are installing PHP on linux/mac you need to recomiple PHP with the -with-mysql command option. I'm trying to installl a phpBB3 forum hosted on my server. I have already installed apache, whicch came with php. I don't know which php version is installed (how can I see it on a Linux box?), and I've installed MySQL, created a database and a username. However phpBB doesn't recognize the MySQL databases and says MySQL is unavailable. So i presume my php version is 5, because as I read there's a small problem with MySQL and PHP5. So how can I see my php version? (debian linux computer) How can I recompile it? It was installed with apt-get, so I can't configure it while installing. Can I enable MySQL after it is installed?

trq Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 The amp stack is easy to install / configure on Debian. Here is what I would normally use... apt-get install \ make \ gcc \ g++ \ apache2-prefork-dev \ libapache2-mod-php5 \ php5-dev \ php-pear \ php5-sqlite3 \ php5-gd \ php5-cli \ php5-tidy \ php5-mysql \ php-doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 ps: To quickly and easily see what versions you have installed, run... dpkg -l | grep php from a terminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
