Mysql problem

[MichielAalders]

hello everyone,

 

i'm trying to setup oscommerce but when ever i acces it i get the error that the mysql extension is not installed. but when i look at the PHP site it says that this extension is always installed by default. and in the php.ini i can't find anything that would show that it is off.

 

i'm using PHP 5.3.8 with mysql 5.5.16.0 (or something like that) oh yeah i'm using apache 2.2 as webserver. does anybody know what is going wrong here ?

Have you run the following script:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

? That will show you the status of everything that PHP knows about, including any MySQL interfaces and extensions that are installed.

no haven't try it. but i'm switching to linux right now. because all our web servers run on linux.

but thanks for the help.

It is irrelevant what you run your PC on, when talking to a Linux server. It will do nothing to solve your original problem, which is entirely on the server. That said, Linux is a better OS than Windows, but it is unnecessary to switch.

i meant i was switching to linux on the server side. we manage our own webservers so it is easier if the new one for this site is linux too.
