i got a webpage with php served with apache accessing mysql

but the bot says that mysql isnt there

running virtual private server -- ubuntu 8

please help, im going mad here

i got the vps at sh3lls.net, there is other versions of linux i can get, ubuntu is the main one ive seen on here and the only version available is 8, ill try to figure out that mysql-cli, i had to install cli for php scripts to work, didnt realize there was a mysql one also, thx

"aptitude search php|grep mysql"
i   php5-mysql                      - MySQL module for php5

Do you have MySQL working on a webpage running at webserver?
And do "mysqlclient" work from command line?

got a dif issue now and i aint the only one from searching google

i for the sake of testing swapped my ubuntu 8 vps for a debian 5 vps (fresh mirror)

and mysql during install wont start due to dependency issues. i googled it and a lot of others around are having the same prob. "mysql-server-5.0" refuses to install and run. i had the exact same problem on the ubuntu but after a billion different things, i cant remember how i got it to work, and i do beleive that this error might have something to do with the bot not starting and not recognizing mysql being there.

if one of you can thro together a test box with ubuntu 8 or deb 5 and install lamp, one tell me if yall having the same issues, and two yall are far more qualified to fix such an issue, tell me how the heck you fix it

i have litterally spent nearly 30 hours researching and trying to get this to work, but im obviously missing something very crucial, i really am doing the work on my end but im getting nowhere lol

my vps so yall know what exactly i got

sh3lls.net -- linux vps hosting, currently running deb 5, i have the 10 dollar package, stripped down lamp with no extras should work on this package for private site and a few bots

i beat in one side of my head over this, starting on the other

does bebot use "InnoDB"

looks a bit familiar

now y dont bebot work

Delete the php.ini from BeBot's directory (remove this from BeBot and put it in the PHP bundle already...). That alone might solve your problem.

If not, then check /etc/php5. If there is no /etc/php5/conf.d directory, check /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and make sure the mysql.so extension is mentioned. extension=mysql.so

If there is a conf.d directory, make sure there is an  /etc/php5/conf.d/mysql.ini file that contains the line: extension=mysql.so.

a liason module, sounds sexy i think

write a mod that intercepts all db requests and restates them into sqlite SQL. that way you dont have to rewrite the whole thing, just an "update" or sorts. change a couple of the main core files to recongnize this new mod and create a new sqlite db to interact with.

there is a crap load of tools to tranlate the exsisting db from mysql to sqlite, but something that this mod can do as an aside since mysql is knwon well here, make a 1 time running mod to come with it that will convert the db as well.

in this way all you have to do is add to the exsisting bot for the most part, and there is a lot of memory crippled folks out there that would love you for it.

theres 3 more cents
