I already search here and other places and I can't find the answer. Can you help me, please?

Thanks a lot!

Config does not see MySQL when DBMS server is installed as RPM

Hello,

My environment: Mediawiki v 1.15.3, PHP v 5.2.13 on RHEL 4

Mediawiki config 'Checking Environment' cannt see MySQL. This is installed as an RPM. Is it that the config expects it to be in /usr/local... ?

How can I tell the config that MySQL is in as an RPM?

Thanks

 * You need to install the MySQL extension for PHP. It could be called php-mysql or something like that. Max Semenik 15:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Fatal error: require [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/vol8/byethost14.com/b14_5840825/htdocs/wiki/languages/Language.php' (include_path='.') in /home/vol8/byethost14.com/b14_5840825/htdocs/wiki/includes/AutoLoader.php on line 582

Happens as soon as I goto the /wiki/config/index.php page to try to install, I have no idea what's going on or if I don't have full access to install the software, no clue, hope someone can help me out.

 * Apparently, you failed to upload all files, check that the aforementioned file exists and webserver has permissions to access it. Max Semenik 09:44, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
