I have been stuck on this, and have no idea what is causing it. I have compiled PHP with mysqli support: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/bin/mcrypt --with-mysqli --with-gettext=./ext/gettext --with-pear --with-libxml-dir=/usr/include/libxml2 --with-zlib --with-gd --enable-pcntl mysqli MysqlI Supportenabled Client API library version 5.1.49 Active Persistent Links 0 Inactive Persistent Links 0 Active Links 0 Client API header version 5.1.49 MYSQLI_SOCKET /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock DirectiveLocal ValueMaster Value mysqli.allow_local_infileOnOn mysqli.allow_persistentOnOn mysqli.default_host*no value**no value* mysqli.default_port33063306 mysqli.default_pw*no value**no value* mysqli.default_socket*no value**no value* mysqli.default_user*no value**no value* mysqli.max_linksUnlimitedUnlimited mysqli.max_persistentUnlimited Unlimited mysqli.reconnectOffOff However, there is no mysqli.so or mysql.so found anywhere? Please help, I have fallen behind because of this. Nick.
