Comments - Installation Issues with PHP5

Your PHP install is looking for a PHP function called mysql_connect. This is commonly found as an extension.

The package name in CentOS is php-mysql.

You can detect what extensions to PHP are installed by using phpinfo() OR 'php -i' from a shell.

Look at that. So simple. Worked like a champ. Thanks so much. Alan

Excuse my ugnorance (new to CentOS, familiar with Gentoo), but what exactly do I need to reinstall?

I tried yum reinstall php php-cli php-mysql php-gd

but am still getting the 'minor version mismatch' error when running php scripts from the command line.

Thanks, Ian

My previous comment was specifically directed to asawyer13.

If you are getting minor version mismatch, you must follow one of the recommendations in the answer.

With CentOS, you would need to recompile the php-mysql SRPM using rpmbuild or its yum equivalent.

Finding a CentOS RPM of PHP 5.3.x should also remove this issue as it should use mysqlnd driver.

Thanks, I was trying to do Option 3, but obviously not succeeding. I see in the ngingx error log there are also plenty of this mismatch messages.

Can you perhaps point out where I went wrong with the command I used?

Thanks :-)
