Simple problem.. hopefully a simple answer?

I just set up 0.6.7 on a machine identical to the machine I installed 0.6.6 on. I got mysql connect error upon loading of index.php... I can log on to mysql using the correct username/pass/database from the command prompt, but in the same session if I type 'php index.php' I get the 'unable to connect ot mysql server localhost blah blah'

running on redhat 7.2

If you are running redhat, make sure you have the 'php-mysql' package installed. Also make sure 'extension=mysql.so' is uncommented in your '/etc/php.ini' file.

I'll try that, but the error that it's giving is actually the same socket error as the one in the mysql post (i just noticed it)

Hi,

I'm also having the same problem using RH 7.2. This is what I get when I try to connect to cacti.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/cacti-0.6.7/include/database.php on line 19

I installed all the required packages and I still get this. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi nick.
Im sure the $path_to_cacti/include/config.php has no host,user,pass defined ?
I upgraded to 0.6.7 and it is working as well as the previous release.
Ofcourse im using RedHat

If you are still getting the:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect()

error even after installing the 'php-mysql' package, try opening '/etc/php.ini' in a text editor. Then make sure 'extension=mysql.so' is uncommented, then restart Apache.

I have installed php-mysql, made the correct edits in /etc/php.ini, restarted apache and I too get the following message....

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/cacti-0.6.7/auth/include/database.php on line 18
