i am using lighttpd for my server and i have installed php mysql mysqlclient fcgi onto my arch linux distro.
the php installation does not use or load? the mysql package. i looked at the php.ini and it says something about mysql modual doesnot need to be loaded in the plugin area since it is loaded automaticaly.

im on my laptop right now so i will post the php.ini lighttpd.conf files up latter. any help would be great!

lighttpd is loading the static content fine and php does work, its just the mysql doesn't and that the part i really need.

Here is the wiki I used for setting up my LAMP server on Arch. I believe you have to uncomment this line in your php.ini file.
