PHP does not have MySQL support enabled

[murphy2]

Hi
I get the message "PHP does not have MySQL support enabled". I have php 5.0.3 and on running phpinfo, SQLite shows. phpmyadmin works fine. I have contacted my  server techie people and they told me
"You need to create a php.ini file in /etc/httpd/conf/

And add these two lines:
Code:
extension_dir = /opt/php-5.0/lib/modules
extension=mysqli.so
Then type: updatewebserver "
I have done this, but I still get the error message.
Any thoughts?

MySQLi is not MySQL.  You must compile PHP with MySQL support.

If you want to use mysqli you will need to redo all the calls in coppermine to be their mysqli equivalent.  It's a little time consuming, but not impossible.
