PHP does not have MySQL support enabled

[jccman]

Hi,

I am trying to install Coppermine on a Raspberry Pi. I have an error message: 'PHP does not have MySQL support enabled'

I didn't find any relevant information on how to enable it. Any ideas?

My PHP version is 5.2. MySQL version is 5.544.

Thanks

JC

Here is a copy of a message I had posted in the developer section here, giving some explanation of a setup I had done. I'll highlight the items that you probably need to do.

I used a Raspberry Pi version (arm) from Ubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi

Here is some of the bash history from my setup:

  433  sudo apt-get install lighttpd

  488  sudo pico install.php

  490  cd /var/www/cpg15x
  491  ls
  492  sudo pico install.php
  493  less include/config.tmp.php


I couldn't get zip to work so I had to ftp an entire CPG directory to the Pi.

Thanks ron4mac. I tried what you suggested, but it seems to be the same.

But at line 481, I got this: chmod: invalid mode: 'www-data:www-data'. But before I had opened all permissions (chmod 777) in the 'www' directory.

I had already installed imagemagick before.

My RPi is not a 2. Only a B I think.

Yeah, that was just an error on my part (and I pointed to the wrong lines(s) .. should be 482,483,484,485).

Are you running Apache? And did you install (and setup) mysql-server? Did you reboot it for good measure?

Create this file phpinfo.php in your root web directory:

Code Select Expand

<?php
phpinfo();
?>


Access it from a web browser: <SITE>/phpinfo.php

Look for indications about MySql support.

Also: Though this is dealing with Wordpress, the information may help you get setup properly with MySql.
