did you compile phpmyadmin from source if so then there should be a couple of switches that you can add to pick up the mysql libraries check under the installed directory and do a ./configure --help and have a look at the options as for the php-mysql library here is the tarball try and compile it and see what you get, hope this helps

This extension may be part of the PHP server (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed. Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL" or something similar. so from where can I download this "PHP-MySQL"? or where can I get mysql.so? and how do I tell php to load it? thanks in advance. another qquestin and please for give me in advance, but this is something I .. well which is mysql adminniistrative uuser? is it mysql? I am running linnux rethat 8, and installed mysql from the disctibution cd rom. I ask this because in thee installation instructions for phpmyadmin says that I have to type the root myslq user name and mysql host.... is mysql host localhost? thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
