Hello Listers,
I have a problem with my PHP/redhat setup, and possible problem with
my Mysql setup.
I have Apache (2.0) and PHP (4.3.2) installed on a Red Hat 3.0 ES
system.
Apache 2.0 + PHP is a known buggy combination.
I have MySql installed on a Slackware linux box.
Server on a remote host? Gotcha.
I want to be able to use Apache/PHP to connect to the mysql database
on the slackware box.
I "think" that PHP is set up ok, which may be a lie, because PHP
says it does not recognize the commands like - mysql_pconnect and
mysql_connect.
No, wait, lemme guess. Like 'function not defined' ? (eat your heart out, Miss Cleo)
Also if I try to connect to the database using something like this:
mysql://user,[EMAIL PROTECTED] demodb this fails and the "or die getMessage()" returns
DB: no such database. (I am trying to use the Pear DB here)
Do I need to have mysql installed on the red hat machine?
You'll need to compile in the client libs at least.
I can connect to the slackware linux box from a Windows machine using ODBC.
So your server is working and accepting remote connections. This is a good thing!
Any ideas on what I have not done, or what I have done wrong?
You haven't configured the Redhat PHP install to build in the MySQL
client libraries.
To verify this --try this script: --- <?php phpinfo(); ?> ---
Look for '--with-mysql' in the Configure Command section. Also look for a MySQL Support section.
