Hi,

Normally when installing php5 and php5-mysql on debian it will auto enable mysql automatically.

But it will not restart apache. Try restarting apache and see it this fixes it.

Or

You will need to enable mysql by using the php5-modconf (this is also called php5.0-modconf or php5.1-modconf) which will enable the module for you. You will then need to restart apache again.

Greg,

It tells me a ton of stuff. However, when I searched through the page for "mysql" there was nothing. I assume there should have been something.

So, it seems that installing the packages php5 and php5-mysql on a debian machine is not enough to get php v5 running with mysql.

Does anyone know what I may be missing for a debian system?

Thanks!

Mark

If you create a phpinfo() page what does it tell you?

Thanks, Greg

Greg, Gordon and Bill,

Thanks for your help. Yes, in my haste, I forgot to restart apache after installing php5-mysql. I feel dumb! ;-(

I got this as the output when I accessed drupal for the first time:

{head} {styles} {_BLOCK_.header.logo} {_BLOCK_.header.site_name} {secondary_links} {primary_links} {_BLOCK_.header.blocks}

Welcome to your new Drupal-powered website. This message will guide you through your first steps with Drupal, and will disappear once you have posted your first piece of content.

I must be missing something with the missing information at the top of the page? Or is this normal?

Thanks!

Greg,

Thanks again....:">

I think I will just unsubscribe from the list, and start all over with a new subscription to wipe the slate clean. ;-)

Two gaffs in as many days is really embarrassing!

That's ok, glad you got it working!

{head} {styles}

A very quick search gives the answer: http://www.google.com/search?q=%7Bhead%7D%20%7Bstyles%7D%20drupal

Doing a search before asking the question may get you the answer faster than the list can provide.

We should all probably lose the habit of relying on google to search drupal.org :)

http://drupal.org/search/node/%7Bhead%7D+%7Bstyles%7D

Perhaps that'll happen when Drupal searching yields results as useful as Google. :) Right now, it's hit or miss. And, it's hard to limit searches to a particular site area ... something that's quite easy with Google.

You sound like you haven't checked out the new search facilities that have been in place for a couple of weeks [0]. With the new search mechanism finally in place, searching druapl.org on drupal.org (rather than on google.com) should be much better than it used to be.

Ah, the gulf between "should" and "is". ;)

I don't think the Drupal search algorithm is quite on par with Google's algorithm, but I'll take your word for it.
