XenForo 1.0 System Requirements Test

Sort by date Sort by votes
I'll have to experiment. You could actually use PDO as well. Just as a quick test, I flipped to that and it seemed to work on the few pages I tested. That might allow people who are having trouble with the MySQLi extension, but no promises.

I'd also recommend that if you have the option, use PHP 5.3. You should get better performance.

I rebuilt Apache with PHP 5.3.3 and select mySQL Improved option.
However, the test said the mySQLi extension is not enabled.

According to this page, I have to manual built PHP?
http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.installation.php

Anyone has any guide on how to get it done via WHM or via SSH?

You don't have to do it yourself, just use the WHM Easyapache, should be in the exhaustive options list if I remember correctly.

Yes, that's what I did.
I select mysql "Improved" in the Exhaustive option before I rebuilt.

According to the php.net link above, for 5.3.0+ php,
To use MySQL Native Driver with mysqli you need to configure the PHP source code using the --with-mysqli=mysqlnd option, prior to building PHP.

Nothing against you, but I hate replies like this (on mostly webmaster forums), we cannot assume that everyone is running WHM, but the amount of times I've come to a webmaster site via googling a question which says "Oh, just restart apache via WHM" - it's not an answer for everyone :|

my server guy is pretty adament that i should consider switching back to cpanel. they have more experience in it and would provide better quality support.

it would be a pain in the ass for me to switch from DA to cPanel now... :(
