Problem with mysqlclient libraries

[ayd-dolby]

I installed testlink last week as a trial for possibly rolling it out in my department. I wish I had made better notes, but the installation seemed somewhat smooth. The only rocky problems I had were as follows.

The machine is running RHES3 which comes preinstalled with mysql.3.x
I needed to upgrade to mysql.4.x and php4.x
I had some problems doing this due to dependencies(arg rpm) but eventually got it all installed. I ran install.php and everything was setup. I logged in and began creating products/test cases/etc. A few people created logins and we verified everything worked correctly.

After the weekend I attempted to login this morning and recieved the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/testlink/lib/functions/common.php on line 71

I\'ve discovered this is due to not having php-mysql that matches my mysql version installed. I think this package had to be removed to upgrade mysql and PHP to appropriate versions for test link. What I don\'t understand is why Testlink worked all last week without a problem until today.
I attempt to install the appropriate php-mysql rpm but recieve the following error:
error: Failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by php-mysql-4.3.2-8.ent
Suggested resolutions:
mysql-3.23.58-1.i386.rpm

Of course I don\'t want to downgrade mysql. I have the following MySQL and PHP related packages installed:

MySQL-server-standard-4.1.16-1.rhel3
MySQL-devel-standard-4.1.16-1.rhel3
MySQL-client-standard-4.1.16-1.rhel3
MySQL-shared-standard-4.1.16-1.rhel3

php-ldap-4.3.2-8.ent
php-pgsql-4.3.2-8.ent
php-4.3.2-8.ent
php-imap-4.3.2-8.ent


Any ideas? Please reply or email me at ayd@dolby.com

Thanks!

Well I fixed my own problem. I needed mysql-standard-compat, but I couldn\'t find the rpm in my version, so I used the 4.15 version and it seemed to have worked fine. That allowed me to install php-mysql. All working now!

Good news.

Now that I Have it installed and we\'re using it, is there a way to change the catagories within a test case? Say I wanted to expand it to include preconditions, postconditions and variations, would that be possible? I\'m a bit familiar with PHP, having tried to make something similar before finding testlink, but it looks as though those catagories may be too ingrained into TestLink to change.

IMHO you have to close this post and create a new one, because now you
are not asking anymore about a mysql problem.
This way
a) hide info that can be useful to other users
b) don\'t allow others user to help you.
