database extensions = none?

I have the latest version as of today and I upgraded mySQL just to be sure, yet I still get database extensions = none on the pre-installation page, so I am unable to install serendipity.

I upgraded from mySQL 4.0.x to 4.1.x to no avail.

phpBB connects to mySQL just fine, as does my web site.

I'm using Slackware 10 (with -current)

Any ideas?

The problem more lies within your PHP built. It seems your mysql lib is not included into your compilation.

Try to insert this to the top of your serendipity_config.inc.php file:

Code: Select all

dl('mysql.so');
to fetch your mysql.so extension...

That did it!

Okay, that got me past pre-installation. Now off to the full installation, hopefully with no hitches.

Thanks!
