easyapache problem

[Radio_Head]

I am trying to compile php 5.1.5 on a server and I received this


checking whether to enable embedded MySQLi support... no
checking for mysql_set_server_option in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: wrong mysql library version or lib not found.


Also using easyapache does not permit to isntall php because it reporting me tha I need mysql 4.1.19 but I have mysql 4.1.21 running without problems ...


Any idea ?

Which build of cpanel are you using?
Why php 5.1.5 and not php 5.1.6?

Could you provide the output of:

mysqladmin version

[Radio_Head]

I have php 5.1.4

how to upgrade mysqladmin to mysqladmin Ver 8.41 Distrib 4.1.21 ?

[carluk]

I'd suggest running the following

/scripts/upcp; /scripts/mysql --force

Also make sure after doing that you select php 5.1.6

[Radio_Head]

Thank you for reply

/scripts/mysql --force already didn't help however will try also updating cpanel

[carluk]

The command above your reply should have both upgraded your cpanel and forced an upgrade to mysql.

[Radio_Head]

I executed

/scripts/upcp; /scripts/mysqlup --force

all executed without problems execpt of this
chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock': No such device or address

mysqladmin -v still reports an outaded version

I still cannot upgrade php (neither compile or using easyapache)

[carluk]

Out of interest what does the following show:

/usr/local/cpanel/cpanel -V

[Radio_Head]

10.9.0-CURRENT_46


mysqladmin -v
mysqladmin Ver 8.40 Distrib 4.0.20, for pc-linux on i686

mysql is 4.1.21-standard


When i execute easyapache it still write me that I need mysql 4.1.19 or later to install 5.1.6 :-O!

removing the mysqli exsention ( --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config ) from the PHP configure switch solved the problem, but what if I wanted to include the mysqli extension and getting this error?

[Radio_Head]

as it seems mysqli is not supported in php version 5

[intel352]

actually, php5 supports mysqli with no problem, seems like that must've been a different issue.
