I'm on a RAQ4. Just updated my php to version 4.06. Now, none of my sites work. But, phpmyadmin does work.I installed phpmyadmin outside of UD. Anyway I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in /home/sites/site5/web/adodb/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 85. I

But, it seems to work fine locally. I'm running PHP 4.06 locally and everything is fine. So there must be something in the setup? register_globals is set to on.... I can't think of anything else. Any ideas?

Yep. The problem is when you install a new version of PHP like this on a Linux box is that you will also have to install PHP with MySQL support too.

When you are running PHP 4.06 on a Windows box, MySQL is pre-compiled into the Win version of PHP, so you don't really notice. But the default binaries for PHP for Linux boxes don't have this.

Have you installed from RPM ? Or have you used a RAQ package ? Either way you are going to have to look for the new MySQL libraries and install those too to get it to work.

Thanks I got it. Now I have another problem which is a little strange.

I get this error: Warning: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/sites/site5/web/adodb/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 85 when trying to connect to a mysql databse using the JDBC driver. However, trying to connect to the same database using ODBC does not generate this error. I have already checked the passowrds and they are correct.

I know this error of old, and indeed it points to there being an error in either the username or password.

There is something else that it could be though. I notice that the error you are getting is mentioning The problem is though I suspect that it shouldn't be localhost.

Therefore I must conclude that you are using the word localhost as your MySQL server address in the connection.

Try using either the IP of your server, or the fully qualified hostname (ie: myhost.com). Hopefully this should work.
