Hello,

Make sure you have all mysql packages installed.

You need:
MySQL-client
MySQL-devel
MySQL-server

You can check for them by typing:

rpm -qa | grep MySQL

If they arn't there, go into /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/packages and use "rpm -ivh filename.rpm" to install whichever isn't there.

[root@shell root]# rpm -qa | grep MySQL
MySQL-client-4.0.14-0
MySQL-server-4.0.14-0
MySQL-devel-4.0.14-0

And it doesn't work

locate libmysqlclient

[Peter]

/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.la
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.a
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.la

Hello,

Make sure that you have mysql library path in /etc/ld.so.conf and run "ldconfig" to recompile the library listing.

[root@server]# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/lib
/usr/local/lib/libmcrypt
[b]/usr/lib/mysql[/b]
/usr/local/lib

and then run "ldconfig"

Hello,

Not sure what else to check. If you want to send us your IP and root password to [email protected], we could have a look.

Hello,

Try installing the MySQL-shared rpm.
You can find it here:
http://files.directadmin.com/services/7.2/MySQL-shared-4.0.23-0.i386.rpm

wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/7.2/MySQL-shared-4.0.23-0.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh MySQL-shared-4.0.23-0.i386.rpm
