Hey, when php-mysql is not installed (properly) the installation-script just dies: Code: test:~/ispconfig3_install/install# php5 -q install.php -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _____ ___________ _____ __ _ |_ _/ ___| ___ \ / __ \ / _(_) | | \ `--.| |_/ / | / \/ ___ _ __ | |_ _ __ _ | | `--. \ __/ | | / _ \| '_ \| _| |/ _` | _| |_/\__/ / | | \__/\ (_) | | | | | | | (_| | \___/\____/\_| \____/\___/|_| |_|_| |_|\__, | __/ | |___/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Initial configuration Operating System: Debian Lenny/Sid or compatible Following will be a few questions for primary configuration so be careful. Default values are in [brackets] and can be accepted with <ENTER>. Tap in "quit" (without the quotes) to stop the installer. Select language (en,de) [en]: Installation mode (standard,expert) [standard]: Full qualified hostname (FQDN) of the server, eg server1.domain.tld [test]: MySQL server hostname [localhost]: MySQL root username [root]: MySQL root password []: foobar MySQL database to create [dbispconfig]: MySQL charset [utf8]: test:~/ispconfig3_install/install# According the code: Code: //* Initialize the MySQL server connection if(@mysql_connect($tmp_mysql_server_host, $tmp_mysql_server_admin_user, $tmp_mysql_server_admin_password)) { $conf['mysql']['master_host'] = $tmp_mysql_server_host; $conf['mysql']['master_admin_user'] = $tmp_mysql_server_admin_user; $conf['mysql']['master_admin_password'] = $tmp_mysql_server_admin_password; $conf['mysql']['master_database'] = $tmp_mysql_server_database; $finished = true; } else { swriteln($inst->lng('Unable to connect to mysql server').' '.mysql_error()); } the real error-message is suppressed (with the '@') but the error should be handled (it should show up 'Unable to connect to mysql server'). Unfortunately, in this case, <mysql_connect> seems to not return <false>. Removing the '@', the installation script shows me the following: Code: [..] Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /root/ispconfig3_install/install/install.php on line 122 Greetings, d@ten
