Can't Install MySQL with PHP

Applications Web Development
1

Hi,

I'm on a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Wheezy.

I urgently need to get MySQL running with PHP, but I get an error.
For example:

$con=mysql_connect("127.0.0.1","root","******","ids");

gives

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

So, I found I needed to install some packages to get PHP working with MySQL but they all 404 like so:

root@raspberrypi:/var/www/note/framework# apt-get install php5-mysql

Can anybody help?

EDIT: I have run apt-get update.

404 error has nothing to do with the operating system or its configuration but with the repository where you're trying to fetch the file from.

Try using a different mirror.

If you don't want to mess with Aptitude and its repos, you can also download the package by hand and install it with dpkg.

Here's a mirror that has the file but there may be many others.

I know what a 404 error is :stuck_out_tongue: it just seemed unlikely that a major repository wouldn't have such a major package.

Your mirror worked, anyway, thanks :slight_smile:
