Where is the default install for mysql
Okay, I have gotten the advice from the list to use a php4 and mysql solution to my webcalendar instead of my previous idea. I have never used mysql and have just installed it from the ports directory using make then make install on freebsd 4.7 and I need to rebuild my php with-mysql=/mysql/directory/ from how installed mysql would my path to mysql be /usr/local/bin/mysql?

Jon Think So. PHP also has built-in support for MySQL, so you can sometimes get away with leaving the path off of the configure option. However, there are some warnings, I think at the end of the 'make' of PHP, about this. Try and see, or just do some more reading Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.

PHP 4 needs the mysql client library linked in (and the header files) to be able to talk to it. It can either use the mysql (library) installed on your system, or it can use the one it has bundled with it. Use of the system library is required only under certain circumstances. You must use it e. g. if you build PHP as the apache module, and other apache modules use the mysql library too. Basically, it's just a matter of conflicting versions. If mod_php is the only apache module that uses mysql, you can safely use the bundled library. --with-mysql will use the bundled libmysql, --with-mysql=/path will use mysql installed in /path. if you have mysql installed from the port (and haven't tinkered with $PREFIX), the path will be /usr/local. the path you give configure in the --with-foo switch is the directory where i'll look for lib/libfoo.a and include/foo.h. note that this statement is *very* simplifying the matters. -- If you cc me or take the list(s) out completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
