Installing for the first time

When I go to the index.php file in the textpattern/setup/ directory I follow the directions until after I enter the userid/password/db/etc and then I get a “Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() … on line 189” error. What should I do?

Re: Installing for the first time

It looks like PHP doesn’t have MySQL compiled in. Check the output of phpinfo() to be sure.

You can create a new file with the following contents:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Visit that file with your browser, and it will list the various modules compiled into PHP—mysql should be listed there.

You ask your host, or if you are doing it yourself you Read The Fine Manual of PHP.

Re: Installing for the first time

Okay. I have downloaded the php_mysql and php_mysqli dll’s and placed them in the c:\php\extensions directory. I have modified the php.ini file and set “extension_dir=C:\php\extensions” and uncommented “extension=php_mysql.dll” and “extension=php_mysqli.dll”. Now when I run the phpinfo() I get:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘C:\php\extensions\php_mysql.dll’ – The specified module count not be found. in Unknown on line 0

I get a like error for the php_mysqli.dll. Please help!

Re: Installing for the first time

Nevermind. I figured out that the libmysql.dll belonged in the installation directory not the extension dir. Thanks for all of your help!
