Dear All,
I have been running an old world Mac clone with YDL 2.3 for a year or so as a web server (I had a problem installing from the 3.0.1 CDs at the time and only 2.3. installed properly - that's another story). Recently I wanted to install Wordpress bloging software on the server but discovered that PHP and Mysql weren't talking to eachother properly (I think there was no php-mysql module). So, struggling all the way I have been trying to upgrade what I have, first using apt- get which seemed to do lots of updating then downloaded RPMs of the versions of Apache, Mysql and PHP from the YDL 3 repositories. When I tried to install them, I got lots of dependency errors for various libraries and other files - just when I was feeling optimistic and that I had learnt something. Should I now download and try to install all the files that rpm says I need or will I end up just with more dependency problems?

All I really wanted to do was get php and mysql working together properly... but an upgrade seemed a good idea at the time.

thanks to anyone that has a view on this,
Michael
