When trying to install Exponential on a system with the following configuration:

Linux: Umbuntu 5.10
Apache 2.0.54
PHP 4.4.0-3
MySQL

we got the following error message:

1. Missing database handler

No supported database handlers were found. Exponential requires a database to store it's data, without one the system will fail.

To obtain database support you need to recompile PHP, the exact recompile options are specified below.

Installation

By using the --with-mysql configuration option you enable PHP to access MySQL databases. If you use this option without specifying the path to MySQL, PHP will use the built-in MySQL client libraries.

MySQL is properly configured but log files do not indicate any conection with Exponential.

How can this be solved?

You will need to recompile PHP with option --with-mysql=[path] like mention in the error. With specified correct path to mysql e.g --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql PHP will set correct headers with MySQL version. Check phpinfo for more info.
