need an expert for this one


ok... using redhat 9, everything basically out of the box. installed rpm's for the latest versions of MySQL server and client. im trying to get a BBS up and running on the webserver from www.phpbb.com. its supposed to be very simple, but of course its not. ive been told that i need to recompile php with support for MySQL.... does this sound right? and if so, can someone give me some simple direction? thanks in advance

Do this :

rpm -qa | grep php

and tell me what u see.

You may need the php-mysql package that redhat 9 doesnt install by default.

[root@redhat ~]# rpm -qa | grep php
php-4.2.2-17
php-imap-4.2.2-17
php-ldap-4.2.2-17



remember that i installed the newest MySQL rpm's from the MySQL website.... maybe the php-mysql package that ships with redhat 9 doesnt work with that version? as of now this is a new installation and i have NOT installed the php-mysql package.

Try this if you dont have it installed.

Download Apt-get

to installed it do :

rpm -ivh apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm


After its finished do :

apt-get install php-mysql

apt-cache search mysql|grep php
phpXXX-mysql : mysql support for php
apt-get install phpXXX-mysql


if you don't find php add another repository to your sources.list file.

thanks guys. i cant try this until i get to work. but tell me if this sounds right... i installed MySQL ver. 4.xxx

when i previously tried to install the php-mysql package from the redhat cd's, i think it installed a 3.x version of mysql on top of my 4.x installation which is what screwed everything up. what can i do about this?

yeah... apt-cache command no found.
isnt linux wonderful? aahhh.... linux, the eternal novelty.

truth is this same bbs, the one that im having all this trouble with in the first place was up and running with php and mysql on a windows IIS server in about 3 clicks. cant argue with that. although for novelty sake i would like to get it running on linux

any ideas?
