'installing PHP mysql extension in RHEL

Mysql is not working with PHP (each of them OK individually, Mysql OK with perl).

I've added extension=mysql.so to php.ini

After searching on the internet, I've tried those two commands

yum install php php-mysql httpd
yum install php-mysql php-gd

However, this results in:

mysql-5.0.95-1.el5_7.1.i386 from rhel-i386-server-5 has depsolving problems
--> mysql conflicts with MySQL-server
Error: mysql conflicts with MySQL-server

Any suggestions ?

Solution 1:[1]

Install mysql-server and mysql-devel.

Solution 2:[2]

here's a small checklist>

  • have mysql service up and running.

service mysql status

service mysqld status
  • have installed php-mysql extension

yum install php-mysql

  • have your mysql.so or mysqli.so in the extensions folder, you can find this in phpinfo() in extensions dir, in my case>

extension_dir /usr/lib64/php/modules

  • check permissions for .so files I think -rwxr-xr-x. is a nice practice.

  • restart apache so it can reload php.ini

service httpd restart

then, you should be good to go.
