I was trying to install Joomla and the pre-requisites specified mod_mysql. I have installed the mysql component for php before but the mistake I did now was searching for mod_mysql all over to see how to enable it, all I had to do is just install mysql for php using any installation instruction out there on the web.
on ubuntu just used
$sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
When trying to use the Module Loader in SugarCRM there was this warning displayed
‘Please ensure that you have curl enabled.‘
I have SugarCRM on Ubuntu, there are different curl packages found one related to php: php5-curl
Installing this ($sudo apt-get install php5-curl) fixed this warning and gave access to the module loader.
save the following to a php file say test.php or checkphp.php and put it in a place accesible thru your webserver
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
http://yoursiteipandpath/checkphp.php should give you the current php configuration
