Hi
I am a linux newbie. I wanted to have a linux box that I can use as a web
server with Apache, MySQL and PHP 4.0.
I installed RedHat 6.2 from the PC-Quest CD on my AMD K6-III 400MHz, 64 MB
RAM, 8.4 HDD, ATI 3D Rage Pro Turbo Graphics card system.
I installed Apache 1.2.14 that came with RedHat 6.2
I downloaded the following
mysql-3.22.32-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz
php-4.0.4.tar.gz
I also found some tutorials on the net to install these software. They asked
me to untar the sources and run
./configure
make
make install
I faced a problem right away. I untared mysql src and ran ./configure. It
was over in no time. But, there was NO MAKE FILE. I could not do either make
or make install. So, I simply untared the src in /usr/local/mysql and ran
./configure again.
Next, I untared php src and ran
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-xml --enable-track-vars
make
make install
It was a breeze, but I could not get it to run properly. So, I ditched the
sources and downloaded
php-4.0.2-1.i386.rpm. I ran rpm -ivh on that and restarted Apache. Finally,
I got apache to process php files properly. I played around with it for a
bit and got bored soon. I wanted to try connecting to mysql.
So, I copied the example in the PHP manual (PHP function reference for
mysql_connect()). And the script bombed out and said Fatal Error: Call to
unknown function or something to that effect.
Where did I go wrong? Should I get the RPMs for mysql too and do a total RPM
installation?
Help me out here please...
Thank You
Srinivasan Ranganathan
