Binary package hint: zabbix-frontend-php

1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

3) As I use url "http://obelix/zabbix/" in firefox I expected to see the php-frontend of zabbix.

4) Instead I got: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in /usr/share/zabbix/include/db.inc.php on line 46"

Are you sure you have the right one of php5-mysql and php5-pgsql installed for your configuration? It might well default to using MySQL.

The package depends on php5-mysql or php5-pgsql, so if you had php5-pgsql installed beforehand it wouldn't have installed php5-mysql.

php5-mysql is installed and php5-pgsql not, as you can see...

That seems to be right for me, cause I use mysql.
