Install Script WordPress stops at apt-get required packages

Dear Developers!

I recently tried to Install Script WordPress 2.8.2, but the installer script always stops with the following messages. I never installed WordPress by Install Script before.

My /etc/apt/sources.list is the following

ClamAV

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib non-free

DoveCot

The OS is Debian 5 Lenny and has not any other problems to access MySQL by PHP. Maybe this installer script is for older configurations and not for Lenny I don't know.

Please help me in this case.

Many thanks and keep up the good work.

Howdy -- yeah, it looks as if it may be trying to pull in the wrong dependency. Try typing this on the command line:

apt-get install php5-mysql

And then try the Install Script again -- does it install cleanly this time?

Also, it looks like you have PHP 4 enabled as the default version for your domain. Go to Server Configuration -> PHP Versions, and change the default (first) version to 5. Then re-try the Wordpress install.

The PHP version was the secret. Now it works.

It seems the first few domains had the PHP4 set up in 2008 by deafult. Maybe there was no PHP5 on the server at that time when installed Virtualmin. Now to make sure for all domains I ran the '/modify-web.pl --all-domains --php-version 5' command.

Many thanks.

Cool, that would explain it.
