Hi,

I am working on a site using the latest Dolphin release and one of the modules (wall i think) requires "mysqli" to be installed to allow it to work properly.

I am getting the following advisory from the relevent page(s) of my site

Quote:

Shindig requires the mysqli extention, see PHP: Mysqli - Manual for more info

So as im not tech minded like you guys

i have figured out that this is a PHP script/module (as the link goes to php.net), but want to know if this is allowed on my virtual private server , and how do i install it?

Many thanks
Russell

Hello,

The PHP module 'mysqli' is supported on your vps. If 'mysqli' is not enabled on the vps, it can be simply enabled using '/scripts/easyapache' through SSH or through WHM >> Software >> EasyApache (Apache Update).

Thanks Sam for the info,

I found the check box for it eventually following your WHM route, Just waiting for it to finish rebuilding (or whatever its doing

)

On a different subject, as I havent logged into my WHM panal for a while i haden't noticed this before, but i got a pop up message

Hostname A Entry Missing!
The server was unable to lookup an an A entry for its hostname (vps12***.webhosting.uk.com). This is generally because the entry was never added. However this could also be the result of your nameserver(s) being down.

(i put the *** in there)

Is this something i need to address urgently, or just something that needs to be updated at some point?

in either case, how do i do this, and where do i get the A record info?

Thank again for your help on the 'mysqli' issue.

I see the hostname for your server is not yet set. Looks like your primary domain is shop******.com. Please confirm if we can use this domain to set the hostname for your server.

Yes it will be OK to use that domain as the hostname on my server.
Thanks for your help
