If you are still having trouble with this, I have a log of a PHP upgrade that will show you how I went about it. But you've probably solved your problem by now. Needless to say, the source install is highly configurable and not very difficult, I recommend it over the RPM in almost any situation. Erik Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.

Re: [PHP] newbie configuration question
Just install the source RPM, change the option and rebuild the RPM.. Then -Fvh it and it should be the way you want it. This is after all the reason they include the source files with Linux..

Interestingly, php-mysql-4.0.6-7.i38.rpm is installed, but phpinfo still shows --without-mysql -Original Message- From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 9:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] newbie configuration question On Saturday 06 April 2002 11:12, Eric Kilgore wrote: > I'm a newbie to Linux and Apache, not so new to php itself.

If all you want is to add mysql support in php then its just a matter of installation relevant RPM(s) which for RH7.2 is php-mysql-4.0.6-7.i386.rpm.

If all you want is to add mysql support in php then its just a matter of installation relevant RPM(s) which for RH7.2 is php-mysql-4.0.6-7.i386.rpm.

[PHP] newbie configuration question
I'm a newbie to Linux and Apache, not so new to php itself. I'm using Red Hat 7.2. The RPM installs apache with php, etc. as part of the standard install but --without-mysql in the configuration. I've read quit a bit on how you are supposed to be able to update the configuration etc. ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql etc. The trouble is I have no clue as to what directory I'm suppose to be running this in. I'm tempted to install a newer version of PHP (Red Hat 7.2 comes with 4.0.6) as the documentation on installing from source code seems to be a bit clearer. Can I install over the top of the existing module or would I have to uninstall that package first? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
