mysqli install and configure

Sorry, it doesn't appear that CentOS 5.x includes a PHP module with mysqli enabled in it.

One option is that you could compile PHP yourself, but I don't really recommend that ... are you certain you need mysqli support, and that the standard "mysql" module wouldn't work?

OK, almost 5 years later-back at the ranch- and using this thread as it contains the exact subject matter at hand sir.

re: Sorry, it doesn't appear that CentOS 5.x includes a PHP module with mysqli enabled in it.

Tada? It has for awhile so, here is what I see: [root@lassd ~]# locate mysqli /etc/php.d/mysqli.ini

[**** SOME OUTPUT OF ACCOUNT NAME REMOVED as well as references to what Joomla. and quite a few others utilize MySQLi for in this century ***] LoL

/usr/bin/mysqlimport /usr/lib64/php/modules/mysqli.so /usr/share/man/man1/mysqlimport.1.gz [root@lassd ~]#

Have things changed on this reply?

re: ... are you certain you need mysqli support, and that the standard "mysql" module wouldn't work?

YES!!

So, in Webmin, tried to see if any type of Auto-Install/attach it to this, to no avail.

My little brain, then thinks -

Upgrade All Packages

Upgrading all packages with command yum clean all ; yum -y update ..

OK? Did this just KILL OFF the tweaks for the ProFTPd Problem?

The "mysqli" PHP module does come with CentOS 6, and likely 7. It's part of the php-mysql package.

In your case, it looks like you're using a third party repository though... you'd want to be careful with that, it can cause a number of issues, including ProFTPd not working properly. If you're having problems with ProFTPd now, take a peek at the article titled "Why does PHP / ProFTPd no longer work after performing updates? (I'm using CentOS, and enabled third party repositories)" here:

The mysqli module actually comes with the standard PHP versions included with CentOS now, so you wouldn't actually need a third party repo.
