php and mysql

I get an error message while trying to follow these procedures:
http://www.howtoforge.com/intrusion-...on-ubuntu-7.10
Here is the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in
/var/www/adodb5/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 363
Here is the url I am trying to access:
http://my.ip.address/web/base-1.3.9/...p?action=check ( ofcourse I removed
my ip before pasting here )
Is there any logs I can look at to get more information about the issue?
Thanks

Hi David,

That error means that you didn't install mysql right.
The fact that it is adodb that is complaining merely means that the
first time things go wrong is in that database abstraction layer.
(So adodb is fine)

Maybe you didn't modify php.ini to include mysql functionality?

Read up here:
http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

I advise you to first check your mysql functionality using basic
functions provided by PHP. It that is fine, start using adodb.

Additionally, if you recently upgraded from PHP v4 to v5, there is a
difference in the default compilation settings, as MySQL is no longer
compiled in by default. Make certain that you have a "--with-mysql" on your
configure line.
