Topic: Install help

Hi hope some one can help as i have look arounf but cant find any ino about this when i run the install.php in my browser i get this response

This PHP environment does not have support for any of the databases that PunBB supports. PHP needs to have support for either MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite in order for PunBB to be installed.

i apologise if this has been covered and as you might have guessed im fairly new to linux so any help would be great thanks

Re: Install help

You need to install the php4-mysql package:

http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/php4-mysql

Then restart Apache and you should be good to go.
