I have installed PostgreSQL.

Have you installed the php module to talk to the database?

Hi randulo,

thx for ur reply.

What is php module ?

I am using Linux 2.6.15-dcc-smp, i686.

the php4 is already there. and the php.ini file is in the following path /etc/php4/apache2.

is it not enough to run php.

When serendipity tells you that no database extensions have been found, you installed none on your PHP.

It does not suffice that your system has postgreSQL installed, you also need to install the postgresql extension for PHP. Either compile it into PHP or load it as an external module. That depends on how you configured your PHP.

If using debian, you might try something like "apt-get install php-pgsql". or "php-postgresql", I don't know how the package is called.

It is called "apt-get install php4-pgsql". Then reboot.
