Hi-- noticed something a little odd about debian (woddy), and php4-cgi/mysql
Background: I am running identical versions of debian (stable) , mysql, and php4 on 2 different x86 boxes. dpkg -l | grep php4 produces the same on both machines: ii php4 4.1.2-6woody3 A server-side, HTML-embedded s ii php4-apc 1.1.0pl1-6 Caches PHP scripts to get them ii php4-cgi 4.1.2-6woody3 A server-side, HTML-embedded ii php4-mysql 4.1.2-6woody3 MySQL module for php4 ii php4-pear 4.1.2-6woody3 PEAR - PHP Extension and Applicat dpkg -l | grep mysql produces the same on both machines: ii libdbd-mysql-p 1.2216-2 mySQL database interface for Perl ii libmysqlclient 3.23.49-8.5 mysql database client library ii mysql-client 3.23.49-8.5 mysql database client binaries ii mysql-common 3.23.49-8.5 mysql database common files ii mysql-server 3.23.49-8.5 mysql database server binaries ii php4-mysql 4.1.2-6woody3 MySQL module for php4 however: on one machine `php4 -m` (the cgi version of php4) shows that it has support for mysql.... whereas, on the other machin `php4 -m` shows that there is no support for mysql..... the apache module for php works perfectly with mysql on BOTH machines i tried moving a copy of 'php4' from the working machine, but `php4 -m` still reports no support for mysql.... Solution: after checking '/etc/php4/cgi/php.ini' on both machines i noticed that one had 'extension=mysql.so' at the very end...while the other (the one that didn't work) did not. apparently the order in which i installed these packages made some sort of difference, and i ended up with one working, and one non-working machine. needless to say both are working just fine now. just thought that i would share that.
