Can't connect to the database

[silbro]

Hi,

I have a ubuntu installation on my system with a apache2 webserver and mysql database running. when i try to install serendipity the only database connection i can choose from is the postgre sql db. i could have sworn that when i installed serendipity on my rented webserver i was able to install serendipty on my mysql server... i even got the data with phpmyadmin from the databse... this confuses me. can someone tell me what is going on? maybe there is an option to install serendipity on a mysql server or maybe i need a module for my apache,php or whatever so its compatible with the mysql db? thx for any information!

greez,
sil

Hi!

If you can'T choose mysql, your PHP compliation does not have the mysql client library enabled. You'll need to recompile (emerge?) the php-mysql package.
