phpBB3, php5 and mysql
I'm in the process of moving a phpBB3 forum to a new machine (formerly 5.2, now 7.1). I also was so keen to move to php5 (was running php4 before, I believe). I have the phpBB3 forum directory copied back into the DocumentRoot. Mysql 4.1 is running, The database is there, I can log in to mysql and view the database. I can get phpinfo. Only I can't get the hell out of the phpBB3 forum. When I invoke the index.php I get a blank page with an incomplete xml header. I have no idea were to look at the moment. It looks a bit like php5 is not accessing the database (mysql) or something. Is there some module or driver to be compiled in? I installed php5 now from ports with the apache mod_php5 module being installed.

Wherever PHP places its errors? On my installations, it's /var/log/httpd_error_log. This might be configurable via PHP's ini file, or PHP's ini_set(), or from the system's syslog.conf ... not certain. It looks a bit like php5 is not accessing the database (mysql) or something.

PHP is great about telling what's wrong ... if it's configured to do so. Once you have an error message, it'll be easier to know how to fix it.

RE: PHP5 and MySQL
So it seems that my ports collectionwas indeed out of date, even though I installed FreeBSD 6.1 only two weeks back. Lesson learnt: always update ports collection after installing FreeBSD. I am doing MySQL 5.0 instead of 5.1, I do not want a beta release, and I am comparing and doing an analysis against a propreitary DB. I have used MySQL in the past, and believe it is a better choice for our case. Thanks for all the help, esp Gerard, Matthew fbsd. I am going to try and build/install everything. If I run into problems again and I run out of everything, I will come back here. Thanks folks! Best Wishes, Omer -Original Message- From: Gerard Seibert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2006 4:18 PM To: Muhammad Omer Iqbal Subject: Re: PHP5 and MySQL It certainly sounds like you have an old version of the ports tree installed. They this and see if it corrects things. Have you ever run 'portsnap'? If not, now is a good time to start. As root, run the following: portsnap fetch portsnap extract portsnap update The extract command will take awhile, but it only has to be run once. After this, anytime you want to update the ports tree you would simply run: portsnap fetch update The three commands I gave you will rebuild build your ports tree with the latest updates. Now, ,migrate to /usr/ports/databases/mysql51-server and run: make install make clean If it complains about any other version being installed you will have to navigate to that directory and run make deinstall to remove it manually. Then return and run the above command again/ Next, navigate to the /usr/ports/lang/php5 directory and run make config Make sure that the Build Apache Module is checked Leave the others at there default settings. Make sure you do 'tab' to OK and hit return to save the settings. Now, enter: make install make clean When finished, everything should be running correctly. If you have not done so already, you must place: mysql_enable=YES in the /etc/rc.conf file. Now reboot the system and all should be well.

RE: PHP5 and MySQL
I have gone through the mysql and php docs and there are some possible solutions listed, none of those worked. Of course, I tried looking for a solution first before sending it here, this is like one of the last resort places, don't want to bug people with something trivial or easily fixable. I can post the problem here, but again, I was not too sure if this is the right place to post the questions. Anyhow, here it is. PHP5 documentation says that mysql and mysqli libraries are no longer shipped with PHP and refers to MySQL page and documentation on how to install PHP support for MySQL. The precise solution is here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/php-mysql-mysqli.html I first tried to enable only mysql, and then both mysql and mysqli. I get the same error in both cases on my web-server (MySQL is installed on the same server too): Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/test.php on line 7 Looking through phpinfo, I do not find mysql or mysqli installed, even though I have enabled, remade and reinstalled both MySQL and PHP5. In fact, I think that my PHP5 is no longer remade, it just reconfigures it and reinstalls it because the build date shows as Aug 22 even though I did it today and my server date shows as Aug 27. I installed both of these using the ports collection, but then I had to manually download MySQL because of versioning issues, and untar and install it using the command line.

A .tar of what? The sources? Better put them into /usr/ports/distfiles. It seems strange to have to install it again especially when I installed php5-extensions with mysql and mysqli extensions. Hmmm... Well that should have installed the php5-mysql port for you, certainly. When I tried to make, it tries to fetches MySQL 4.1 whereas I have 5.0 installed. How can I update the version? Hmmm... Seems you have a version of the ports tree which is a few months out of date. I have updated Makefile.ext in PHP5 directory with DEFAULT_MYSQL_VER=50, but to no avail. As a basic rule you should never have to directly edit any file within the port directory. To make mysql-5.0.x the default version on your system, edit /etc/make.conf and add: WITH_MYSQL_VER= 50 Then do a 'make clean' in the php-mysql port and try again.
