HI,

I am trying to install the fudforum in linux box (Say A) and having Datbase is in the different box (Say B), now iam trying to install the fudforum from linux box using the database which is in the different box.


In the first step i saw that the my sql extension is disabled (attached screen shot) so when i when to database step then i am not able to find the drop down to select the my sql data base.

Is this happening because of the step 1 i.e MySQL Extension: is disabled state ,then what would be resolution to make it enable.

Could you please do the needful ASAP.


Thanks
Manoj

Yes, it's happening because your PHP installation doesn't support MySQL.
For details on how to enable it, see http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysql.installation.php

PHP4? PHP4 is very old and not supported. You need 5.1 or higher to run FUDforum (5.3 recommended).

Instead of trying to get this to work, I would rather install a preconfigured LAMP stack like BitNami or Xampp.

PS: As this is not a FUDforum problem, it may be better to ask for help on a PHP list or forum.

Best of luck!
