[PHP] Re: Getting PHP to work with MySQL 4.1.10 under Fedora Core 3

[M. Sokolewicz]

well, for some reason it didn't compile in the mysql extension at all... 
even though it was configured to. That's strange, and I have no idea why 
it would do that. However, since you're using mysql 4.1.x, you should be 
using the mysqli interface anyway. Even phpmyadmin has the option to use 
mysqli instead of mysql; you just need to configure it that way (via 
config.inc.php)

I have installed MySQL 4.1.10 from RPMs from MySQL. I have installed PHP 
5.0.3 from source and specified "--with-mysql=shared,/usr" on the 
configure line. Things seem to build and load correctly, but (after 
restarting Apache) when I try to run phpMyAdmin, I get the following error:

cannot load mysql extension,
please check PHP Configuration
Documentation
I looked at the documentation and I understand what it is saying, but I 
don't understand why it isn't able to load the mysql.so file.

I'm a real newbie who wants to learn PHP and MySQL and doesn't know 
either of them very much yet. I would greatly appreciate it if someone 
could look at my phpInfo() output and point out anything I am missing. 
You can see it at:

I copied the mysql.so file from /usr/local/src/php-5.0.3/modules/ to 
/usr/lib/httpd/modules/. I'm running Apache 2.0.52 from the Fedora RPM.

I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
