I haven't worked with PHP4 in quite a while, but I seem to remember that you
have to enable the mysql.so extension in your php.ini file. On PHP5 that
isn't necessary any more.
$ locate php.ini
/etc/php/apache2-php5/php.ini
^^^ This will be different for you.
--- The mysql.so extension should be listed in the file, you just uncomment
it.
$ grep mysql.so /etc/php/apache2-php5/php.ini
--- Now use a text editor to open that file and uncomment the correct
line(s)
--- Then you restart your apache
$ su
Password:
# apachectl restart

That should have you fixed up :)
