Mysql database extensions

So I have reinstalled my server and am installing serendipty on a fedora core 4 box, its got mysql, apache, php, all are functioning normally, however serendipity still does not recognize any database extensions:

Database extensions none

I tried installing mysql manually, reinstalling httpd, and all that good stuff. Has anyone seen anything like this, or have any suggestions of things i should try? I remember setting it up last time and it was real easy, now its being a real pain.

Thanks in advance,
Larry

Hi!

If s9y cannot detect a DB extension it means that your PHP does not have a DB extension library installed. Create a php script with

Code: Select all

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
contents and check if mysql is mentioned there; its houldn't be, which means you need to recompile PHP with the "--with-mysql" flag...

Best regards,
