Dear All, I have followed this link http://blog.bollysite.com/2010/08/04/upgreading-php-5-3-on-centos-5/ and updated to php5.3. The problem then I try to run phpMyAdmin then I get this error "Cannot load mysql extension." So what must I do now I am totally lost? Thank you.
If you installed with yum, don't forget to install "php-mysql" and then restart apache. mysql should be working then.
Dear Mark, When I type yum install php it just give me the version 5.1.6. Then when I write yum install phpmyadmin it gives me No package phpmyadmin available. Nothing to do. So that is why I resort to that site to install php5.3 just that now I am having problem with "Cannot load mysql extension".
as i said, you're missing the package php5-mysql the official centos repo probably doesn't have this one .. if you checked the page you used to install 5.3 and looked into the repo dir you'll find: http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/i386/php-mysql-5.3.2-1.i386.rpm which is mostlikely the php mysql module you need to get mysql support. this has nothing to do with phpmyadmin.
Dear Mark, So how to go about it must I do a yum or rpm for this? What is difference between them? So I go the link download the file and where to store it?So the next step how to go about installing phpmyadmin as the official centos repo dont have it. Now what I did is that I put the phpmyadmin folder into my www/html folder of the apache.Is this correct to do? Thank you.
Dear Mark, Thank you for the command. How about the phpmyadmin what is the solution how can I get it installed? Thank you.
What about you try and read a manual, so the next time you actually know what you are doing so in case of problems you can fix it? download it from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/ then read http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Quick_Install it's right there, step by step..
