MediaWiki 1,5.8 in FC 5

Hi @all!

I´ve just downloaded MediaWiki 1.5.8 and extracted it to /var/www/html/wiki/mediawiki-1.5.8. Then I directed my browser to "http://127.0.0.1/wiki/mediawiki-1.5.8/config/index.php". After the first step, there appears this error:

Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/mysql.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/mysql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/wiki/mediawiki-1.5.8/install-utils.inc on line 17
Could not load MySQL driver! Please compile php --with-mysql or install the mysql.so module.

When I enter the command "php --with-mysql" in the terminal, the cursor just jumps to the next file and nothin obvious happens. It seems the process never returns.

Can anyone give me instructions on how to solve this problem?

Regards,

Michael

Install MySQL support for php.

Code:

yum install php-mysql

Then restart httpd

Code:

service httpd restart

and continue as normal.
