Now as I remember the database functionality must be installed with Apache (the web server).

Cant remember but I think it is a module that you can install. Insert the CD and go to the Webserver section and install mysql support for Apache.

this is a usual error for all RedHat users. while upgraing MySQL you should install the MySQL-shared-3.23.58-1.i386.rpm instead of the latest one comes with MySQL 4.1 all other can be from 4.1 tree.

hi jax8,
thanx for ur reply.
is it actually mysql support for php or mysql support for apache ??? i hope php should b installed alongwith mysql compilation. for ex- # ./configure --with-mysql= .

hi apsivam,
thanx for ur reply. actually i always prefer source ( tar.gz) instead of rpm. so, was n't the shared library in the source of mysql ???
