Install help; Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql

[michael_ebbert]

Hello, I am installing oscommerce new using the daily snapshot tep_snapshot-20030331.zip. I am using the installation guide on http://guide.oscdox.com/. I have just completed the installation, and am receiving the following errors. I could not get /catalog/install/install.php to complete successfully. It did connect successfully to the DB with the username and password I supplied, but was unable to automatically modify the configure.php files, so I modified them by hand.

 

If I now load http://myserver.com/catalog/default.php, I see:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

 

If I load http://myserver.com/catalog/admin/index.php, I see:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

 

It looks like there's perhaps trouble with PHP communicating with mysql? If anyone has advice, I would be happy to try it out. This is my third failed install with the same issue each time, but I'm determined to get it right!

 

Thanks,

Mike Ebbert

I am having exactly the same problem as you.

Have you found a solution? Have been searching around for the last half a day trying to get it working to no avail.

 

Let me know if you have found a solution.

Did you chmod both configure.php files to 777 before the installation ?

I ended up finding the solution by comparing my php.ini with a friend's. Mine was missing a line

extension=mysql.so

in the Dynamic Extensions section.

 

After adding that line, the osCommerce app running. My thanks to everyone.
