Configuring PHP with MySQL

pembo13 · 05-24-2003, 03:52 PM

I was just installing PHP. I had MySql installed on installation of Redhat 9.0. On doing the ./configure for php with mysql support at the end of it all there was a notice saying that i should specify the path to Mysql. I tried /usr/lib/mysql, /usr/local/mysql.

Where are the libraries located? Any ideas?

The /usr/local/mysql should work. There is a lib directory in there.

Where is your MySQL home dir?

here's a useful trick. as root, type updatedb

then, whenever you are looking for a particular filename simply type
locate xyz.

updatedb creates a database of all files on your system and locate finds whatever file you are looking for and lists all files that match the query. try it out.

Thanks for that tip....but I'm already aware of it.

Thanks again
