I have this unfortunate occurrence on one of my production machines: "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL" I studied the Upgrade Guide 4.9 to 5.0 intensely before and after, but can't find what went wrong. I just did the upgrade, and made the links as proposed (so I hope)
# pwd /etc/php-5.2 # ls -l total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 26 Mar 14 17:26 gd.ini -> /etc/php-5.2.sample/gd.ini lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 29 Mar 14 17:25 mysql.ini -> /etc/php-5.2.sample/mysql.ini # ls -l /var/www/conf/modules total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 41 Mar 14 16:26 php.conf -> /var/www/conf/modules.sample/php-5.2.conf I also tried to copy the modified php.ini from /var/www/conf to /etc/php-5.2.ini Then the result is: "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:The MySQL adapter "mysql" is not available." pkg_info looks okay: mini_sendmail-chroot-1.3.6p1 static mini_sendmail for chrooted apache mysql-client-5.1.54p0 multithreaded SQL database (client) mysql-server-5.1.54p9 multithreaded SQL database (server) nano-2.2.6 Pico editor clone with enhancements [...] pfstat-2.3p1 packet filter statistics visualization php-5.2.17p5 server-side HTML-embedded scripting language php-gd-5.2.17p4 image manipulation extensions for php5 php-mysql-5.2.17p3 mysql database access extensions for php5 png-1.5.4 library for manipulating PNG images I am very grateful for any help or advice how to further debug this.
