<b>I installed cacti 0.8.6c and all its depedences.</b>

<b>Then installed the following patches:</b>

<b>Then i ran php poller.php and got the following response:</b>

Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in <b>/usr/sharre/cacti/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php</b>

<b>I have seen a few other people have the same problem. I haven't seen a clear resolution for it though. Am I missing something, anyone have some advice?</b>

Run "php -m" and verify that mysql is loaded.

Hey

Thanks for the tip, it looks like mysql is not loaded. I assume i have to edit the php.ini file to load it. I will let you know how it works out.

In Unix, I am not entirely certain. I would look at it anyway.

Okay, thanks a lot for the help. When I ran a php -m, i noticed that mysql was not compiled into the php install. This is what was causing the problem. To fix, you will need to recompile php with mysql (--with- mysql). In my case, using debian, i had to remove the php-mysql package and reinstall it. Thanks again for the help and I hope that this can help others get this working.
