    Hi there,

    got this error when installing the livesupport-station package :



    Fatal error: PostgreSQL PHP extension required and not found. in /opt/livesupport/var/storageServer/var/install/install.php on line 56



    PostgreSQL and php4-pgsql are installed on my box, and I got loads oh php scripts working with pgsql. I tried to comment the lines



    if(!function_exists('pg_connect')){

    trigger_error("PostgreSQL PHP extension required and not found.", E_USER_ERROR);

    exit(2);

    }



    in the install.php file but the install will fail later when trying to create the tables. Don't understand why it cannot find the pg_connect function...



    any clue?



    Thanks

    Dale

    I have livesupport-station working mostly Wink on a debian system right now, so I can try to help.





    I'm guessing that the php4-pear module is also installed? It seems that the installation program also requires that.





    Which version of php4-pgsql do you have installed? I'm using 4.3.10-4.

    install.php will be executed by php-cgi binary (debian package name php4-cgi), not by the apache module (php4).

    With following debian packages it should work fine:
    www-data@woody:~$ dpkg -l | grep php
    rc php4 4.1.2-6woody3 A server-side, HTML-embedded scripting langu
    ii php4-cgi 4.1.2-6woody3 A server-side, HTML-embedded scripting langu
    ii php4-pear 4.1.2-6woody3 PEAR - PHP Extension and Application Reposit
    ii php4-pgsql 4.1.2-4 PostgreSQL module for php4

    I'm having the exact same problem.

    It won't install due to to this:



    Fatal error: PostgreSQL PHP extension required and not found. in /opt/livesupport/var/storageServer/var/install/install.php on line 56

    dpkg: error processing livesupport-station (--install):

    subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

    Setting up livesupport-studio (1.0rc1-1) ...

    Making post-install steps for GLiveSupport.





    I have the same packages that sebastian mentioned above and nada.

    Any thoughts?

    We are updating the (debian) install process now, perhaps it is better use the CVS or differently wait two days if the new package is there.
