Mysql just stopped working? (or php)

[chr@nox]

I wanted to open this 'test' site today just to get some hacks tested on it and such.. and all of a sudden mysql (or php?) dunno which one.. just stopped working

the error i get is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in /var/www/test/admin/db_mysql.php on line 38

It's in every file or whatever, even with a clean release of vbulletin
reinstalled mysql, reinstalled php (apt-get blahblah).. it just didn't help anything

Any of you guys might know what's the problem? and how to fix it.. I'm running Debian on linux kernel 2.4.22

Thanks in advance!

in config.php change $usepconnect into 0 :)

Tried that too :) it gave an error with both, I gave up on it, removed the apt-get versions of php, apache and mysql.. and compiled them by hand .. working now :)

Thanks anyway!
