I'm tryin to install vbulletin 1.1.5 .... but when I get to step 3 on /forums/admin/install.php3 I get this message


Attempting to connect...


Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_pconnect() in db_mysql.php3 on line 50



Does anyone know what is wrong??? suggestions to fix this ???

I'd greatly appreciate your help.. thanx..

It sounds like you are running a rather old version of PHP. As a temporary fix, replace mysql_pconnect with mysql_connect in the install file, but in the longer term, you should really look at upgrading your PHP version to something a little less ancient (assuming that is the problem).

in db_mysql.php change the mysql_pconnect to mysqlconnect.

that should fix you up.

if you install 2.0.0 BETA 2, there is a switch in the CP to turn off mysql_pconnect.
