PHP/ MySQL working together....

[Dutch_MaFia-boy]

My current configuration displays that MySQL support is not supported.enabled with PHP modules...I need to MySQL to work with PHP...

Looking at diffrent (helpful) websites, I've found that I need to re-compile PHP and add the --with-mysql command...

./configure --with-apache=/path/to/apache/dir
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

I guess the main question I have is that:

Where is the default webserver/apache directory in RedHat 7.3?? I just want to make sure, but I think it is /etc/httpd which would be the web server root...

/var/www/html..........would be the document root..

I did a find for apache...and other paths I have in question are.../usr/lib/apache
and /usr/include/apache..

I just want to do this correctly and put everything in the right directory/paths. If I were to do this install...correct me if I am wrong..

./configure --with-apache=/etc/httpd
./configure --with-mysql=/root/mysql

Am I on the right track?? Thanks guys

I dunno, but the 'Install' forum might be a good candidate to check out or pose this question in.

you are somewhat on the right track, but if you recompile php it doesn't matter where apache is, and if you edit the httpd.conf file with rh 7.2+, it will be written over if the system is booted anyway, so just recompile php with the mysql option and you will be set... here is a great resource for ya, lemme know if this works:

hope this helps.....
