Hi

Have been doing to re-installation of the RH8.0 Server for more than 15 times and it is getting to my nerve as I am just a beginner with Linux.

I sincerely hope someone who has successful install MySQL for RH to work with PHP kindly let me know the easiest setup. I had tried my old setup which is supposedly to work but now can't.

The files I needed to setup to work with my existing database are:
1. Apache 1.3.19
2. mod_ssl 2.6.2-1.3.12
3. php-4.0.4
4. openssl-0.9.6a
5. mySQL-3.22.32

If anyone knows, please give me some details how I can setup so I can get mysql database to work with php.

Thanks a million!

Stupid question, but have you configured your php.ini file to enable MySQL support?

Still haven't got it working huh? You've been asking this for about a week now.

Did you ever install the php-mysql rpm or not?

Yes, I have install the php.ini. Yes, I have installed php-mysql rpm. I have also installed php-server and php-shared. The php is running but I don't seem to be able to link with mysql. I have installed the php-mysql too.

Yes, it has been a week and I have still yet to complete my setup that works. Really frustrating and desperate to get it to work. So, I sincerely hope that if there is anyone who has the simpliest setup that can run php with mysql, I would be most grateful to know how I can do it without problems.

Thanks!

It will help a lot if you can describe exactly what the problem is you are having. Cut and paste the error messages to here. "The php is running but I don't seem to be able to link with mysql" doesn't really tell us much. Tell us the following...

What is the PHP script that you want to access mysql? Is it a forum script like vbulletin, or phpbb, or is it phpnuke or postnuke or something similar... or is it your own custom script?

You don't install the php.ini file... you edit it.
