Problems with phpbb and mysql vi dselect

Tags:

I have dselected phpbb and mysql. The database is done and works. When I go to the web page I get:

The database module for the database you are using, MySQL, is not available. Please (re)install the php4-mysql package or if it's already installed, add extension=mysql.so to the relevant /etc/php//php.ini and restart the webserver if appropriate.

So, I went into /etc/php4 and there are 3 folders: apache, cgi, cli. Each dir has the file php.ini and I uncommented the line with extension=mysql.so the restarted apache-perl. Still no luck. Any ideas?

Problems with phpbb and

Submitted by Asok on Fri, 2006-12-15 13:41.

I went to /etc/php4/apache/php.ini and removed the uncommented the section where it talks about Dynamic Extensions and extension=mysql.so. Then I restarted apache. Apache restarts with the following error:

Starting web server: apache-perlPHP Warning: Unknown(): Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'mysql.so' in Unknown on line 0

In /etc/php4/apache/php.ini it has a place for the direcotry and it is correct. So, I don't know why it does not like it.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Asok.
