Problem with phpmyadmin

[mbruti]

After installing Knoppix I have done an apt-get install of mysql-server, apache-ssl, php4, php4-mysql and phpmyadmin.

Knoppix told me that some of these where already at the latest level.

Now when I try accessing the https://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/ page I get the dreaded "Cannot load MySQL extension. Please check PHP configuration".

Logs do not show errors. The php4-mysql packages has a /usr/lib/php4/20010901/mysql.so file.

The /etc/php4/apache and cgi directories have a mysql.so line in their respective php.ini files.

What is wrong ??????????????

Thank you. Vielen Danke. Grazie Mille. Merci Beacoup. Muchas Gracias

Is your Mysql started??
Try something like 'mysql start'

Yes thank you.

MySQL is started /etc/init.d/mysql status shows it is started

I also downloaded another MySQL GUI (cannot remember name now) and it connects to the DB. I also see the port being in LISTEN mode.

PHP works under Apache as I tried putting some simple PHP pahe (hello world) in the /var/www tree and it is ok.

Again thank you but that was not the problem

Also both /var/log/syslog, messages and the /var/log/apache logs do not show errors.

Solved. Purged and reinstalled EVERYTHING (mysql, apache, php and the modules) and after some head banging it worked.

Thakn you. Bob
