PHP_MYSQL Errors

echouin12 · Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:49 am Post subject: PHP_MYSQL Errors

So I've yum installed Cacti dependencies and installed cacti-0.8.7b.tar.gz but I'm getting a php mysql error and I think I need the libraries but I'm not sure. These are the errors I'm getting in my /etc/httpd/logs/error_log file

The thing is, the /etc/php.d/mysql.so file is there, but I keep getting errors about it and I don't know how to fix it. The file exists, I can open.
Please help me out, I'm a total newbie so spare no details in offering advice or suggestions.
THANK YOU!!!

It's not looking for 'mysql.so', it's looking for 'msql.so'

You're PHP configuration is broken: either comment out the requirement for msql.so (it's not need by Cacti), or install php-msql

AWESOME!!! So I disabled the extension=msql.so and still can't get my browser up.
But now my httpd/logs/error_log file looks like

And I have no idea how to give permission to allow this server to access /cacti2. any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Check the permissions on the directory and check your httpd.conf or vhost configuration for a proper Directory setting.

Well the httpd.conf says the user and group are called apache so I chown -R apache /var/www/html/cacti2 and then checked to make sure and apache has been given ownership of the directory......is that all?
How do I become the apache user so that I can access the directory?
Or should I change the user to cactiuser so that every user is the same?
Sorry I am a newbie so I need specific details.
Thanks

apache should own everything except for 'rra' and 'log', which should be owned by the user running the crontab.

As long as others have read permission on the directory/files, you will be fine. Read the man pages on 'su' and 'sudo' for basic user switching (type 'man su' or 'man sudo').

If you are having this type of trouble however, I would _seriously_ suggest picking up 'Linux in a Nutshell' from O’Reilly. Picking up commands from forums will lead to bad habits that are almost impossible to break.
