Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in

[cc]

hi

since yesterday I try to install cacti-0.8.6b on freeBSD 5.3, but it doesn't work.

I get on the browser following error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in
 /usr/local/share/cacti/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 323

I did all these steps correctly:

Code: Select all

1: Create the MySQL database
# mysqladmin --user=root create cacti
2: Create a mysql user/password for cacti
# echo "CREATE DATABASE cacti;
GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser at localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cactiuser';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" | mysql &&
3: Import the default cacti database
# mysql cacti < /usr/local/share/cacti/cacti.sql
4: Edit your config.php
Specify the MySQL user, password and database for
your cacti configuration.
5: Add a line to your /etc/crontab file similar to:
*/5 * * * * cacti /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/share/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
6: Point your web browser to the cacti dir and login with admin/admin

and of course I changed config.php

from the comman line I can connect to mysql using cactiuser and password without any problems:

Code: Select all

bsd# mysql -u cactiuser -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 3 to server version: 4.1.9

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql>

could be a problem of mysql-client-4.1.9 ?
I have mysql 4.1 installed.

You need to search the forum for MySQL specific installation instructions relative to MySQL 4.1.x. There are quite a few examples. We will be updating the documentation in the next release. Until then, this forum will be your best friend.

cc all you have to do is go to your apache config file httpd.conf and change your host name to the real host name you using now. As you see from the error you getting

Code: Select all

 this->_connectionID = mysql_connect($argHostname,$argUsername,$argPassword);

one of those tree aruments is not right.
