Need Help Fast ... What should i do ? ..

[Noriko]

Hi,
I always have this problem when I try to install the vb
on step 3:


attempting to connect .....

Fatal Error : Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_pconnect() in db_mysql.php on line 50

I have created the database an called it 'vbdb' and gives the user mysql the permissions to do what ever it want ... but this error is always appearing .


my hardware info is:
Cpu : 800 PIII
Ram : 1 GB
HDD : 51 GB
using red hat linux 6.2 and the latest Mysql .
Vb ver 1.1.5


Thanks

Sounds like your PHP doesn't have MySQL support compiled in -- you'll need to get this before you can use vB.

thanks Ed d Sullivan

but to be sure could you tell me how to do it ?

By recompiling PHP or loading the MySQL module.

Better info available here: www.php.net .

Are you sure you have mysql in /usr/local/mysql?
You may recompile PHP using just --with-mysql
