MySQL connection on install

[timtierney]

Hey everyone. I'm new to zen cart however my boss has been using it for years so I thought I'd give it a try.

I'm trying to install it in a development environment. I'm running Apache 2.2.14 with PHP 5.3.1. I'm stuck in the middle of the install. Everything looks good until I reach the system inspection. Again, everything looks good except MySQL support is off.

That doesn't make sense to me because I have two PHP sites running on this server both utilizing MySQL databases just fine.

Here's my PHP build command:

'./configure' '--prefix=/home/mastertimothy/php5' '--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '--with-apxs2=/home/mastertimothy/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-gd'

Also the mysqli section of the phpinfo(); page is filled out with the correct information.

Any ideas?

It's looking for "mysql", not "mysqli".

Hey thanks for the quick reply. You were right. I wasn't aware there was two different kinds of MySQL connectors. I rebuilt php using the -with-mysql=.... and --with-mysqli=.....

I finished the install and it seems to be working great.
