Works fine for me. I assume you have compiled up php with the mysql
support included? It's in the default configuration, so it should be
there even if you've installed packages from the FTP sites. In any
case, look at the output of the phpinfo() function to verify that you
have compiled it with all of the right options:
% /usr/local/bin/php << EOF | grep MySQL
? <? phpinfo() ?>
? EOF
MySQL Support =3D> enabled
Now it does sound as if you don't have libmysqlclient.so on your
library search path. Try running these commands and compare the
output to what I get:
% ldd /usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp4.so | grep mysql=20
libmysqlclient.so.12 =3D> /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.s=
o.12 (0x28608000)
% ldconfig -r | grep mysql
search directories: /usr/lib:/usr/lib/compat:/usr/X11R6/lib:/us=
r/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/mysql:/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg:/usr/local/lib/p=
th
166:-lmysqlclient_r.12 =3D> /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient=
_r.so.12
167:-lmysqlclient.12 =3D> /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.s=
o.12
At a guess the problem is that you don't have '/usr/local/lib/mysql'
on your shared library search path. You can fix that (as a one-off)
by:
# ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/mysql
after which the ldd(1) and ldconfig(8) commands above should show
libmysqlclient.so being correctly located. Then restart apache:
# apachectl graceful
and the PHP module should pick up the required MySQL stuff.
Don't worry if the .so version number on your system is different --
I'm running mysql-4.0.18 which implies libmysqlclient.so.12. Other
MySQL versions will be different.
You can preserve the ldconfig setup, or rather recreate it on each
reboot, by putting:
ldconfig_paths=3D"/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/lo=
cal/lib/mysql"
into /etc/rc.conf.
Cheers
