Dedicated Server Problems

Ok I made the move from shared Cpanel hosting to dedicated server and I'm in a little over my head. I have CentOS and webmin. I have managed to get the virtual host set up for my domain, got wordpress uploaded, but I get Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress. The answer to my support ticket is PHP installation has been done default, please use rpm -qa | grep php.

Can anyone help me? I think maybe a manged server would have been a good idea but once I get it set up I think I can figure it out.

Thanks
Mike

  • I'm assuming by their answer you have either Telnet or SSH access to your server. If so, simply login with your admin account information and type the command with the exact line they gave you.

    Who is your hosting company? That is a very vague, unprofessional answer.

  • Your php.ini is not loading the sql extension.

    Search for the following line in the php.ini file and uncomment it :

    extension=mysql.so

    And then restart Apache

    Wierd why the hosting replied you in such a way.
  • @Cesecurity I think your on to something. I have been keeping my eye out for someone. I just need to get everything up and running and I should be ok. I guess I didn't realize how complex this was

    @schwarzes thanks. I understand how to stop and start the Apache webserver in webmin. I dont understand how to get to php.ini or uncommenting it.

    Thanks
  • Cpanel hosting CAN be used on a dedicated system ALSO! The two have NOTHING to do with one another. Cpanel has ANOTHER option called WHM. Although Cpanel/WHM typically costs about $20/month more, It may be worth it.

    One option it gives is FULL PHP, PERL, APACHE, SSL, Security setup/tuning.
