finally got php configured so that no errors come up when i start server, tried using phpinfo ;( (or what ever it is) but nothing showed up on the screen, however, the site was now correctly reading my php documents (login page etc.) so i figured that it was ok.
phpmyadmin- put it into my document file and tried to access it by using http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php came up with error: Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation.
Anyone know what causes this error and how i can fix it? i tried looking in the docs but it was no help.
versions: apache 2.2.3
php 5.2 (snaps version?)
phpmyadmin 2.8.2.2
cheers. |

What is the short_open_tag setting in your php.ini ?
short_open_tag = On
Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are recognized.
Than if PHP works look at the output from the phpinfo() script if the mysql extention is loaded
| Code: |
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
|
if not loaded enable it in the php.ini
from
#extension=php_mysql.dll ;
to
extension=php_mysql.dll ;
copy libmysql.dll from mysql\bin to Apache\bin |

short_open_tag is on... how do i enable <? ?
put the extension on and copied the file.
the doc shows up, but no where in it does it say that mysql is enable, the only that that has sql in it is: sql.safe_mode Off Off (off, obviously) and i don't think that has anything to do with it?
oh yeah, still cant get phpmyadmin to work, which is the real problem here  |

Did you run phpinfo ? There is a list of the loaded PHP modules. So my question again: Is mysql extension loaded?
Secondly did you restart your server? |

restarted the server, same thing...
if your talking about additional modules, there is nothing under that, and i can't find anything refering to mysql, so i must assume that mysql is not enabled.
under the header apache2handler, there is a bit called loaded modules, mysql is not under that either. |

You scrolled the hole page down and there is no MySQL?
Comes there an error message when you start apache that it can not load php_mysql.dll?
Is the extension_dir set correcly in php.ini?
extension_dir = "C:/php/ext/" |

absolutely no mysql on the page.
it works now, extension_dir was not set, so i set it and placed the .dll into the php/ext folder.
Thanks james blond! |
