Error installing ISPConfig3

I am following the install of ubuntu 9.10 and got to the end to install ispconfig3 and got the following error message at the third question after fully qualified domain name it halts and says....

No PHP mysql functions available. Please ensure that the PHP mysql module is loaded

I am using 9.10 64 bit

Thanks

You missed to install the php mysql library, run:

apt-get install php5-mysql

Thanks.. That did it.


I love the new ispconfig 3 interface. just trying to setup a slave zone for someones server seems to be tuff.

Thanks for all your help

The dns serever used in ispconfig 3 (mydns or mydns-ng) does not have slaves zones as it synchs the master and slave servers trogh mysql, thats why the ispconfig interface does not has this explicit option. But we will implement slave records in future versions when we support additional dns servers like bind.

I have exactly the same issue, but php-mysql is installed.

I have followed this guide:

http://www.ispconfig.org/docs/INSTALL_CENTOS_5.2.txt

closely and worked through various errors as they have arisen. I am at the final stage (of course)

7.2) Installation from SVN

yum install subversion
cd /tmp
svn export svn://svn.ispconfig.org/ispconfig3/trunk/
cd trunk/install


7.1+7.2) Now proceed with the ISPConfig installation.

Now start the installation process by executing:

php -q install.php

and when I type in that final line, ISPConfig starts up. It asks 3 questions, language, installation mode and FQDN, but when I answer the last question, I get:

No PHP mysql functions available. Please ensure that the PHP mysql module is loaded.

Every test I run indicated that php5-mysql is, in fact, installed and running so I am now lost and this thread is the only hit I get when I google the error.

Any tips would be most gratefully received.

I am actually running CentOS 5.4, but I hope the setup is the same as for 5.2 - it's the closest thing I could find.

Falco just became my favourite person and I feel totally stupid.

Many thanks :)
