apache mysql-php (solved)

otacon · 2009-02-09 07:56:22

ok so I was following the wiki.
it says to test mysql by using phpmyadmin.

My test fails.
it says, "Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation"

when I look at documentation it says,

" 1.20 I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".

To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.

Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL" or something similar."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I already enabled the mysql.so in /etc/php/php.ini

;extension=imap.so
;extension=json.so
;extension=ldap.so
;extension=mcrypt.so
;extension=mhash.so
;extension=mime_magic.so
extension=mysql.so                 <-----------------------------------------
;extension=mysqli.so
;extension=ncurses.so
;extension=odbc.so
;extension=openssl.so

not sure, I just installed lamp myself last night and everything is working.
go over the wiki again and make sure you didn't miss a step somewhere
if that dont help maybe try reinstalling mysql

well it looks like my hard-drive is defective so I guess I will be reinstalling everything

From my understanding when you enable a module in php, you need to restart the web daemon (httpd, lighttpd, etc...) for it to take effect.

Make sure you have the MySQL Client Libraries installed. Really, just doing "pacman -S mysql" should do the trick (While installing all the server essentials), but it seems to have not worked in this instance, but indeed, make sure you restart the httpd (/etc/rc.d/httpd restart) before trying again, it'll reload the httpd.conf and php.ini files then.

I had a bad hard-drive so after reinstalling arch and mysql it just started working. Don't know what I did wrong sry.

Thanks guys

hmm, this is really really awkward. i have the same problem and my partition is not corrupted (as far as i know).
i've setup lamp on my new laptop and everything works just fine, but not on my home pc.
this really sucks!

any suggestions?

i have the same problem and i solved this with a little change in php.ini

i think you have to change php extension directory to this

extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php/modules/"

Arch Linux
