Im having trouble installing the vBulletin message board script. My friend said its either a php or a mysql problem. I installed the latest php and mysql but still doesnt work. It says something like line 39 error blah blah.

Okay I sent you a email.

Next time put this in the Job Offers & Requests Forum

If nobody is at it. We'd like to look into the matter. .... :)
Have a great day :)

why not use the official support forums http://vbulletin.com/forum ?

error for vbulletin:

Attempting to attach to database...


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in /home/sites/site2/web/admin/db_mysql.php on line 38

error for wbboard:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /home/sites/site2/web/board/wbboard/class_db_zugriff.php on line 23

my mysql and php is configured right
and also the name of the database is also correct. tried phpmyadmin and works... Dunno whats wrong

It sounds like MySQL support is not compiled into PHP.

Can you make a php file containing this:


<?php
phpinfo();
?>



Save that and upload it to your server, then post the URL here

MySQL Support should be compiled into PHP since his PhpMYAdmin is working.

I have seen some systems compiled with --with-mysql=shared ( instead of --with-mysql ) and this could lead to this problem.

Does anyone know the difference between these two compilations??

For a client I found out what would probably solve it.

pico /etc/httpd/php.ini

add the line

extension=mysql.so


under the
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Dynamic Extensions ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

entry.

Restart Apache and now PHP will be loaded.


Cause in some magical way PhpMyAdmin seems to work anyway - it did at my clients box and maybe it is the same on yours.-

i got someone to do it for me
