php-mysql not installed -> installation just dies without any error-message

[d@ten]

Hey,

when php-mysql is not installed (properly) the installation-script just dies:


test:~/ispconfig3_install/install# php5 -q install.php

>> Initial configuration

Operating System: Debian Lenny/Sid or compatible

Following will be a few questions for primary configuration so be careful.
Default values are in [brackets] and can be accepted with <ENTER>.
Tap in "quit" (without the quotes) to stop the installer.


Select language (en,de) [en]:

Installation mode (standard,expert) [standard]:

Full qualified hostname (FQDN) of the server, eg server1.domain.tld [test]:

MySQL server hostname [localhost]:

MySQL root username [root]:

MySQL root password []: foobar

MySQL database to create [dbispconfig]:

MySQL charset [utf8]:

test:~/ispconfig3_install/install#


According the code:

//* Initialize the MySQL server connection
if(@mysql_connect($tmp_mysql_server_host, $tmp_mysql_server_admin_user, $tmp_mysql_server_admin_password)) {
$conf['mysql']['master_host'] = $tmp_mysql_server_host;
$conf['mysql']['master_admin_user'] = $tmp_mysql_server_admin_user;
$conf['mysql']['master_admin_password'] = $tmp_mysql_server_admin_password;
$conf['mysql']['master_database'] = $tmp_mysql_server_database;
$finished = true;
} else {
swriteln($inst->lng('Unable to connect to mysql server').' '.mysql_error());
}

the real error-message is suppressed (with the '@') but the error should be handled (it should show up 'Unable to connect to mysql server').
Unfortunately, in this case, <mysql_connect> seems to not return <false>.

Removing the '@', the installation script shows me the following:


[..]
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /root/ispconfig3_install/install/install.php on line 122
