Installation: connection to mysql fails
- 
 Hi Mike, 
 in an AMP package you may need to activate the mysql extension in your php.ini. How did you install php?Activate mysql: 
 –-
 - vi /etc/php/php.ini (you may have to correct the path to your php.ini location)
 - add or uncomment the following: extension=mysql.so
 –-(If you've compiled it using the sources from php.net, you need to compile php with the mysql extension first. (./configure –with-config-file-path=/etc/php/php.ini --with-openssl --with-mysql ..)) 
- 
 Did the entry, restarted apache, same result. The php installation is the distribution based one, which is similar to the RedHat EL 5 installation. I have added my php.ini file. This is the resulting page of info.php:

 Sorry, here comes the .ini file 
- 
 What you wrote earlier, that the extension 'mysql xml standard pcre session' was not installed… is that still the case? 
- 
 Sorry that I´ve puzzled you. I currently trying to install i-doit on two different Linux flavours: CentOS 5, the one which is most of the thread about and Trustix 2.2, the one with the 'mysql xml standard pcre session' was not installed' error. Trustix is actually the system of our production servers. But while support seems to go down for this great system we are looking for another distro. Centos 5 is now the first test environment and I thought it is a good idea to also implement one or two of this "ever wanted but never had the time to get one" services like an it inventory. There is one included with our Zabbix network monitoring system but it´s much too basic to meet our requirements. 
 So while I know my ways around with Trustix I´ve tried to install i-doit on such a system but the setup doesn´t start and just the above error pops up. I´ve tried to find the module but hadn´t any success. If you could point me to the right direction I would be very happy.

 hmm strage , can you check if networking is enabled in mysqld. 
 if you type " telnet localhost 3306" the result should be something like
 Trying 127.0.0.1…
 Connected to localhost.localdomain.
 Escape character is '^]'.

 5.0.22-Debian_3-logmzJhM)#s=s,�Oo`sC5{.rtoQ

 Her is the output: 
 [netadmin@linux3 ~]$ telnet localhost 3306
 Trying 127.0.0.1…
 Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
 Escape character is '^]'.

 As you can see we´re both running the same version of mysql...

 Hello, i receive the same message if i open http://localhost/i-doit. (message attached) I'm using Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 64-bit Can someone tell me how I solve this problem?  
- 
 Hello derHabi, Welcome to our i-doit forums! Please take a close look at our knowledge base: https://kb.i-doit.com/display/en/Installation Linux Mint 18.1 is based on Ubuntu 16.04 which is currently not supported because of PHP 7. Please switch to another GNU/Linux distribution or just wait for i-doit 1.9. The pro version will be published in May. Greetings, 
 Benjamin
