Frequently Asked Questions

I got everything working, but when I try to create an account I get the following error.
Fatal error: call to unidentified function: mysql_connect() in /path/to/webchess/connectdb.php on line 7.

Most likely MySQL support has not been compiled into PHP (--with-mysql option). To verify this create a new PHP-file with only the following line in it: <? phpinfo(); ?> Look at the output of your file by running it through your webserver. There should be a large section dealing with MySQL in there. Correct the problem by following the manual from the PHP website: http://www.php.net

It seems like I have found a bug. What should I do?
