php Extension problem (could be missing)

Post by Bufferstop »

I'm a board admin, but not maintainer so don't know of any changes. The bb went down last night an phpBB returned the following error.
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

mysql_connect function does not exist, is mysql extension installed?
I suspect the error is on the server as I'm not the only one to get the same message. Anyone encountered this or have any thoughts on what may have happened.

Is a server problem, contact your host and ask them to solve it.
Or go to the php settings and enable the mysql extension
Sorry! My English is bat ;) !!!
