[RESOLVED] php's mysql extension missing?

[rlee923]

Hi,

I've just joined and I need help on getting the extension setting done for mysql.

I've done a LAMP setup on FC6 with all the newest releases with each apache2, mysql 5, and php5
and went through the installation from tarballs.

Apache and php works fine together, but if I do phpinfo(), it doesn't show me the settings for mysql.

Also Mysql works fine by itself.

I searched a lot of webpages and forums, and I couldn't find the solution for this at the moment.

During the configuration of php, i definitely included an option:

--with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql

with mysql already installed in the path designated.

I initially look up on some webpage saying that I need to include extension=mysql.so on the php.ini file, but it didn't work so I searched for the file under /usr/local , but couldn't find one.
So I thought I didn't configure php properly so I went through it again but I still couldn't find mysql.so.

Please help me on this~

Regards,

err. Just in case some people make stupid mistakes like me.

on php.ini file, make sure you include the path shown, which will come out on the last few rows after make install. It basically tells you to include blah blah.

Finally, I can start on working proper stuff.

Cheers.

P.S, if anyone wants me to post a full LAMP setup from current release of each apache2, php5, mysql5 tarballs, let me know, i think all the procedures are stuck on my head now. 🙁
