This means that php has not been compiled with mysql support.

I assume this means you are a RedHat user??

I am a RedHat user, and this is what php info says in the configure command:

--with-mysql=shared,/usr ...

ps. do you recomend me to let the system adm. to fix it, or is it easy to fix for a "average" linux user.

Is it your local machine or what??

It is easy to do if you have installed from the RedHat CDs or from the RedHat rpms. You just need to install the appropriate php-mysql.rpm which is on the installation CDs and it is also available for download from the RedHat downloads site.

This rpm installs the client libraries used by php to connect to mysql.
