Re: [Phphelpdesk-help] problems installing

[alister a. <ali...@ut...>]

Hi Scott,

As I just emailed to another person, PHP is not installed with mySQL 
support on your server.  I use Debian, and for me I could use apt-get 
install php-mysql to install PHP with mySQL support.  It's possible that 
there's a rpm around that will do the same thing, but as I'd rather not use 
Red Hat I can't say for sure.  If not, then you're going to have to compile 
PHP4 from source with mySQL support.  This is not as scary as it sounds - 
the source documentation will tell you what you need to do.

If the writer(s) of phphelpdesk are around, is it worth putting something 
like this in the/a FAQ?  Perhaps it's just me, but I've noticed two emails 
today about the same issue.  I don't read this list too closely, but I 
imagine there's a lot more of this going around.

And finally, I reckon phphelpdesk is great, and I'm using it in my area, 
with 250 or so users.  I've even got a wish list, but I reckon I'll save 
that for later :-)
