I've been attempting to install the roster with no success. When I attempt to open install.php I get the following.

Verison
This: 1.7.3
Latest: Connection failed
PHP Info
View phpinfo()
PHP Version: Using: 4.3.11 Required: 4.3.0+
MySQL Module: Available: No Required: Yes
GD Module: Available: Yes Required: Optional

I'm not particularly skilled with these things. I did setup a mysql database thats not being used by anything else. Not exactly sure how to remedy this. Also I notice the connection failed. Is this due to the mysql or a seperate issue?

The installer checks if the mysql module is loaded by php

Code: Select all

    $our_mysql   = ( extension_loaded('mysql') ) ? '<span class="positive">Yes</span>' : '<span class="negative">No</span>'; 

Most likely, the mysql module isn't loaded by php

I am having the same issue with my setup. can someone point me in the right direction of how to fix this issue. I'm new at this and the answer about the PHP load is not very clear to me. As far as I can tell MySQL is loaded and running, I created a database but the installer says that MySQL is not availible

OK I think I found the problem and will share.
