Hi,
I'd recently updated php, mysql, and php-apache packages to following versions:
php 5.3.1-4 mysql 5.1.43-1 php-apache 5.3.1-4
After update my existing webapps started showing error: Unable to connect to database, with nothing changed on the webapps side. After assuming that recent update cause them to break, I downgraded all related packages, and then upgraded them one-by-one. Following is the final combination which worked for me:
php 5.3.1-4 mysql 5.1.43-1 php-apache 5.3.1-3
If anyone also exhibits this behaviour, then I can report this as bug.
Thanks Ashish SHUKLA
Did you get any start-up errors after upgrading PHP ?
Nop, I didn't get any errors in error_log of httpd, if thats what you meant. And also nor any errors during upgrade.
You should upgrade php-mysql as well. Because you're changing the version of libmysqlclient (mysql) whereas php-mysql is linked to some other version.
There is no 'php-mysql' package in the repositories. You probably mean this: #v+ abbe [~] chateau.d.if % sudo pacman -Ql php |fgrep mysql php /usr/lib/php/modules/mysql.so php /usr/lib/php/modules/mysqli.so php /usr/lib/php/modules/pdo_mysql.so #v- Ashish -- They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin, Memoirs of the life and writings of Benjamin Franklin
