    Ok, I am getting this error when I try to run install.php, at the point where the database should be created:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in.

    The pnForum FAQ offers this advice on the error:

    When I try to install or access my PostNuke installation, I get the error
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in.

    mysql_connect() is a core PHP function for handling MySQL, this is a problem with your PHP configuration not with PostNuke, you should contact your web hosting tech support about the problem immediately.


    I do not use a web hosting company, but am running PHP & MySQL as installed by default by RedHat 8.0. The php.ini file has been untouched. What do I need to change/fix/add to get this issue corrected? Thanks in advance for any help.

    You need to reinstall PHP with MySQL support - for more details see specific PHP support sites, for example www.php.net
