Re: Why is phpinfo giving me these version numbers?

Which log should I be looking at? MySQL appears to maintain several logs. On Nov 5, 2003, at 11:59 AM, Eric COLINET wrote:

Hi ! I'm not familiar with the services of windows but for:

        - The first question: The version number shown is the version number of the client API ie the part of the code that was compiled with PHP (ext/mysql).
           under windows the mysql librairy that is bundled with the PHP distribution is always compiled in.
           I don't now if it's an issue with MySQL 4 but i don't think so and PHP itself can't stop your MySQL4 service

        - The second question: The directives are set in your php.ini file that is somewhere on your system, check the PHP documentation but it's safe to let the default values (ie: no value).

For the problem that MySQL won't run as a service you should check the log of your MySQL server, the reason could be trivial. Good luck ;) Eric At 16:40 05/11/2003, Roderick Martin wrote:

I had PHP 4 and MySQL 3 installed on a Windows NT4 server running Netscape Enterprise. Two weeks ago, I went in, wiped out all traces I could find of MySQL and installed MySQL 4. Everything went okay except it refuses to run as a service. Today I ran phpinfo and under mysql, I have these values...

My first question is; shouldn't the Client API version show me the 4.x.x of MySQL that I installed? My second question is why are almost all the other directives have no value? And might this indicate why it won't run as a service?
