Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C

[Joe H.]

I have just installed cacti for the first time on a Windows 2003 server I am using cacti-0.8.6b, with Apache 2, MySql 5.0, rrdtool 1.048, php5.02, and net-snmp everything required to run cacti, but when I open my web browser and go to x.x.x.x/cacti I get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Apache2\htdocs\cacti\lib\adodb\drivers\adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 323

I have double and triple checked my installation I have searched the web for an answer and this forum as well. I will try the good old fashion reboot for now. If someone could help me with this it would be AWESOME!!!!

The extension=mysql.dll is not commented Which is all the info I could get from the Internet.

If you need any other info please let me Know !!

Did you change c:/Apache2/htdocs/cacti/include/config.php file according to your username and password in Mysql. I had the same kind of problem while installing Cacti and changing config.php file solved the problem. Hope this helps!

[Joe H.]

I have changed the config.php file to root and the password I chose. I have also tried the standard config and also allowed the user cactiuser full access to the Db as well. neither worked.

I have also gone as far as making root the user with the root password for the cacti database

Boots Have you figured it out ? I have tried to replace the file I am using root as the user to open Mysql still nothing I haven't recieved much in the way of feed back on it either.

Joe H.,

Edit php.ini in the c:\php directory and verify that the mysql extension is uncommented. Also verify that the PHPRC environment variable points to the c:\php directory. And also verify that there is no php.ini file in either c:\windows or c:\winnt directories.

If you find any of the following true, make sure you reboot after you make the changes before proceeding.

Witness,
I double checked everything you told me to the only thing that was wrong is that i had a php.ini in my windows directory So i deleted it, reboote, but i still get the same error.
