[SOLVED] php can't connect mysql

hello everyone, i am trying to install WordPress and phpMyAdmin, but

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration

i googled and it says to modify php.ini, change   

 ;extension=mysql.so

to 

extension=mysql.so

i did, but it didn't work, any other suggestions?

thanks a lot.

Did you restart mysqld after the change?

/etc/rc.d/mysqld restart
