[Phpwiki-talk] mysqli extension

[Arthaey A. <ar...@gm...>]

I'm trying to view the virgin wiki setup of a newly installed PhpWiki,
but it's coming up blank. Debugging and googling as much as I could, I
think that the problem is related to my using the mysqli extension
with PHP, rather than mysql.

Below is the error message I get normally:

Fatal Error:

lib/WikiDB/backend/PearDB.php:35: Error[256]: Can't connect to
database: WikiDB_backend_PearDB_mysql: fatal database error

    * DB Error: extension not found
    * (mysql://wikiuser:XXXXXXXX@127.0.0.1/phpwiki)
    *

lib/WikiDB/backend/PearDB.php:35: Error[256]: Can't connect to
database: WikiDB_backend_PearDB_mysql: fatal database error

    * DB Error: extension not found
    * (mysql://wikiuser:XXXXXXXX@127.0.0.1/phpwiki)


And this is what I get is I try changing

    DATABASE_DSN = "mysql://wikiuser:password@127.0.0.1/phpwiki"

to

    DATABASE_DSN = "mysqli://wikiuser:password@127.0.0.1/phpwiki"

Fatal error: Class 'WikiDB_backend_PearDB_mysqli' not found in
/home/arthaey/workspace/PhpWiki/lib/WikiDB/SQL.php on line 20

I also tried, just for the heck of it, renaming all mysql_* function
calls in lib/WikiDB/backend/PearDB_mysql to mysqli_*, without any
effect.

Advice at this point would be much appreciated.


SYSTEM INFO
============

I've reinstalled my system, where I had a working version of PhpWiki
1.3.10, MySQL 3-something, PHP 4.3.8, Apache 2.0.50, and Mandrake 9.2.

My new system runs Mandrake 10.1, MySQL 4.1.5 gamma, PHP 5.0.1, Apache
2.0.52, and the current CVS version of PhpWiki. The Apache-PHP-MySQL
combination works fine -- or at least phpMyAdmin works fine.
