Do you have mysql installed and running (you need the server and client packages installed)?

    yeah its installed, and running from what i see, i did

    Service Mysql start

    "a mysqld process already exists"

      then just run configure as ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

      If you get no errors at the end of the configure, then your good to go.

        now i knever uninstalled the old rpm install of apache and the old rpm install of php, should i worry about those to? or is there something I must do?

                  Did you add a line to your httpd.conf that reads:

                  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

                  and re-start the webserver after you did? (/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl restart)

                    Yeah, I did a restart and everything, still nada, not sure whatsup?
                    .

                      run 'wget --server localhost' That will get your host headers. Does it say anything about PHP in the Server: line?

                        [root@ideal root]# wget --server localhost
                        --09:09:36-- http://localhost/

                        it says it there, i dont undestand why its only show the code, im putting the .php file in my htdocs folder, thats correct right?

                        -Ideal

                          Not sure why, but its working now, what i dont understand is it seems that if there is a cappital letter inside of the htdocs directory, it doesnt allow it, or says it "cannot be found" not sure whatsup with that.

                          -Ideal

                            its all up and running now, thanks for the help.
