Hi
just to follow up on this - the fix we implemented to get over this is as
follows:
1) get a php.ini file into the vs /etc directory
2) in /etc/php.ini - add an extension_dir= path as follows:
extension_dir= /usr/lib/php4
3) in /etc/php.ini - add a line to load the mysql.so dynamically
extension= mysql.so
then we had a permission problem on mysql.sock - although the mysql.sock was
writable the directory was not so we had to chmod 777 /var/lib/mysql
not sure on the security implications or warrantble nature of any of this
but phpMyAdmin is up and running...but we are working in the dark and it's
not production so....
