Hello,

I am trying to connect to a remote MySQL server over PHP on RedHat Linux Server. I get the message "PHP Fatal Error: Call to undefined Function: mysql_connect()... powered by PHP4.3.9

I included in php.ini - "Dynamic Extension" the entry with mysql.so. - Then I get the error message dynamic library unable to load /usr/lib/php/mysql.so
(Directory is empty..)
I can connect directly with mysql without problems.

What I need to do to manual install the php connection to mysql, without reinstalling anything?


Thanks

Tobias

Verify that the path to mysql.so is actually /usr/lib/php/ as it may vary from system to system depending on the install.

Example, mysql.so is located in /usr/lib/php/extensions/ on one of my servers.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

but I cannot find mysql.so on the system "find / ..." . How can I include it to the system, or what are the necessary steps to make it running?

You said that your are running PHP 4.3.9 so I am guessing that it is a RHEL4 server. You shouldn't have to update the PHP configuration with the MySQL extension. Sounds like you don't have MySQL support for PHP installed. Check to see if you have the 'php-mysql' RPM installed.

rpm -qa | grep php-mysql

If not, install it with up2date.

up2date php-mysql

Then restart Apache and you should be good to go.
