I'm sorry, you probably think I'm being dense... but I (honestly) don't understand what you mean. Do you mean that one (or other, or both) must *also* be installed for php to have any clue that MySQL exists? yes and its /usr/ports/lang/php4-extentions when you run make install it will give you a listing of all the extions that you can install for php just slect mysql from the list A colleague has an identical setup and - AFAIK - didn't install either one on this or prior installations of FreeBSD/MySQL/php. Before i updated php to 4.3.10 i didnt have to any of the extions installed for my setup to work . then after i upgraded php i had all kinds of issues nuthing worked,I found out that for 4.3.10 to work the way i whanted it to i had to install just about every extion in the list. along with recompiling php its self to inable the extions that i needed. If this is a dense and utterly silly question then please excuse the braindead nature of it. not at all. Today has been a long and frustrating day.

On Jan 12 at 15:41, Nico Meijer launched this into the bitstream: Hi Colin, I missed part of the thread, so I'm sorry if I'm dead wrong here. Do you mean that one (or other, or both) must *also* be installed for php to have any clue that MySQL exists? You need php4-mysql for that. php4-extensions is a meta-port. Read the pkg-descr in /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions/. php4-extensions will install php4-mysql for you. Hey Nico, long time, no see! Happy New Year. OK, I installed php4-extensions and it made precisely zero difference (selected every-damn-thing-on-the-list) I have *no* idea what to do next, none. As far as I can see, phpinfo.php shows no sign of MySQL. Thus, I assume php is still braindead to the existence of MySQL. (I restarted MySQL before running phpinfo.php again just in case) [mumble] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Trouble starting MySQL [SOLVED?]

It doesn't make sense. One thing, it started mysql as can be seen above from /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe, which sure 'aint the script way. Then again, the script way from CLI didn't work. sigh I hear your frustration. I was asking about this on Dec. 18, 2004 and I did not get any answers. Look at this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-December/068425.html I am still confused about /usr/local/etc/rc.d vs /etc/rc.conf. Can anyone educate us how this works on FreeBSD 4.10? The only thing you should possibly have in /etc/rc.conf or maybe /etc/rc.conf.local are setting variables. Most things do not even need that. Do not _execute_ anything from rc.conf for startups. All startups should be in scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. The main startup executes every script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d that ends in '.sh' and has execute permission set. I think the order is alphabetic sort order. Make your script take a 'start' as its first argument. Besides, most installs for ports put a usefully functioning xxx.sh startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d when you do the install. For some you have to change the permissions to allow it to execute. Check in the ports xxx.sh script to see how it starts and if you need to set any environment variables or change any addresses. This is all well documented if you look. jerry I have nothing in rc.conf pertaining to mysql, but the mysql server starts just fine when I boot my FreeBSD 4.10 stable box? mysql-server-4.0.21 installed from ports. ___ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Trouble starting MySQL
Hi Colin, Hey Nico, long time, no see! Happy New Year. Ah, indeed! It took a while, but now my brain said click!. Same to you, thanks. Hope you are well (apart from the php/mysql problem) I have *no* idea what to do next, none. As far as I can see, phpinfo.php shows no sign of MySQL. Thus, I assume php is still braindead to the existence of MySQL. (I restarted MySQL before running phpinfo.php again just in case) I'll read the entire thread later tonight, but just in case: have you copied an example php.ini (-dist or -recommended) over your existing (/usr/local/etc/)php.ini (if there is one, dunno right now; back it up first).

Re: Trouble starting MySQL [SOLVED] [CLOSED]
Earlier today I said: Greetings all, I installed MySQL from ports (mysql-4.1.7) then tried to start it. Nothing doing - wo way. Starting it from /usr/loca/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh nothing happens. No error message is emitted, but no running instance of mysql either. You may need to set a variable in /etc/rc.conf such as: MySQL=YES mysql_enable=yes That is mentioned in /usr/loca/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh It is now in /etc/rc.conf That however didn't solve the problem - or as far as I am or was aware. Instead I started the MySQL server from Webmin and it's running just fine. The next issue was getting php to recognize the existence of MySQL. Several steps later this is in essence what was done: I deinstalled php4 and also php4-extensions. Stopped httpd altogether. Reinstalled php4 and as many extensions as possible (although some libmagic thing halted the 100% installation of the extensions, so I sent debug info to the maintainer as directed by screen output) The reinstall was unremarkable, in that nothing that I could see varied from the first time out - OTHER THAN - as said, the halt in extensions that didn't happen first time. Restarted httpd and puled up a phpinfo.php page and suddenly there was some mention of mysql for the first time. I just don't have any clue what I did; a) wrongly at first and then b) correctly later So it *seems* matters are resolved, although I'm not 100% certain. I assume it's solved because phpinfo displays awareness of MySQL. Warm thanks to one and all who have jumped in on this today, it's now solved and closed (for the archives, that is) This wouldn't have happened without the list crew.
