This problem solved. PHP was working fine, MySql was working fine, MySql support was built into the PHP Apache module ok, but the PHP MySql module was not installed.

Setting up on a Debian Woody with Apache; trying to install a PHP BB script. I have checked in with the script folks but I need to work this from both ends. The PHP module is set up and working (I have uncommented the correct line in LoadModule and the two AddType lines -- does there need to be anything like a "script alias" for php? I still havn't figured out how scripts can be processed in the htdocs folder safely) as is MySQL (I'm not saying nothing can be wrong with the setup, only just that it is working as far as I can tell). I can access the database from the box using the username and password set up for the script. And I have run a couple of small php include scripts and done the <?php info> thing and "mysql" was built in (but my book says there should be a section on MySql and there was none...is there something further that needs to be done to activate PHP/MySql interaction?). I have double checked the spelling, and given the root directory path properly. What happens is I can GET the first page of the "Administration" setup script for the BB and it appears to POST ok, and then all I get is a blank (white) screen that tells me its done. No error messages at all. I checked my Norton Firewall and refers are allowed...but not recommended while trying to set up PHP scripts...setting this up from my W2K box ftping to the Linux box. I uploaded the script files in ASCII and the permissions are correct. I have checked the on-line documentation and have looked at a couple of books but there is very little in any of them about how to set up (if that is the problem), most are on how to use. Any pointers, clues, hints, insights? Best Wishes! Mike Olds www.buddhadust.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
