Step 10 Database details

Squiz Matrix Installation
1

Hello


I am on step 10 of the matrix install and when I have entered the following details:



Database Type = MySQL

Database Location = LocalHost

Username = Matrix

Password = xxxxxxx



and when I click Next I get the following error:



"DB Error: extension not found with DSN mysql://Matrix:xxxxxxx@localhost/"



Any ideas?



I have created a database called Matrix_db in MySQL which I can see when I do a 'mysqlshow'. I have also tested logging in to MySQL as Matrix which works fine.



THANKS in advance

JILL

Check that you have the php-mysql RPM installed. If not, PHP doesn't have the correct extension to connect to MySQL databases.


You can easily install this RPM using the up2date command:


    # up2date php-mysql


Another RPM you may want to install is php-ldap (if you want to connect to Active Directory).
