I am experiencing a problem installing coppermine ver. 1.4.1.16.
The error message is "PHP does not have MySQL support enabled." I traced this to be related to this statement in install.php
if (!function_exists('mysql_connect'))
The server i am trying to install is on is a SunOS and has php (5.2.1) and MYSQL version 5.0.37 .
This server supports mysqli only, and is not configured for mysql functions. I've spoken with the administrator and he will not change it to mysql.
Does this mean that I will not be able to install coppermine on this server?
Yeah. It's not a matter of changing from mysqli to mysql since you can use both at the same time.
He tells me that it's a complicated process to set up php to use both. What's involved?
Might be complicated on SunOS I suppose. You could try using http://code.google.com/p/mysql2i/
