Installation Problem with MySQL

[neptun_]

Hi,

I am trying to install SugarCRM.
At the "Step 2: System Check Acceptance", I have the following line in red:
"MySQL Database Not Available".
The others are OK, green.
I don't understand why MySQL is not available?
The service is started, I can use the database... I use the version 5. I have tried with 4, but the problem persist.
Can you help me please on this problem?

Thanks

Check your php is compiled with mysql.

Run phpinfo file and see the output and verify your mysql installtion with the output

(make one file say phpinfo.php and put one line
phpinfo();

)

Are you running on Windows or Linux? Could there be a permission issue? Are you able to connect to mysql from another php program?

try something like this (obviously replace upper case with your system info):
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('SERVERNAME', 'MYSQL_USERNAME', 'MYSQL_PASSWORD');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

If this works, then php is probably set up correctly.
