big problem with PhPBB and PHP

big problem with PhPBB and PHP

am 12.10.2006 16:47:50 von JamesBond

Hi,
I'm trying to install PhPBB on a FreeBSD box, and am having problems.

The PhP version is 5.1.6, and when I try to install PhPBB, it tells me that it can't use my database, which is PostgreSQL 8.1.4. But PostgreSQL IS listed in the little drop-down menu. I believe that my PhP installation isn't configured for PostgreSQL.

Do I need to recompile PhP ?

Thanks.

JB

Did you install PHP from the FreeBSD ports tree? If yes, then you
need to make sure you've also installed the "php5-pgsql" port located
in "/usr/ports/databases/php5-pgsql".

Create a phpinfo page and see if postgres support is listed there.

If not, then yes you'll need to add it.

If it is, then contact the phpbb guys and help them work out why it's
not being picked up properly.
