Configure PHP to link against the real MySQL libraries

[badcpu]

I have apache+php+mysql installed and working normally without any problems on a FreeBSD 4.9 machine. I installed the above via the port system.

Now I am trying to get mod_log_sql working on the above server, however I am getting Apache segfaults. In the mod_log_sql documentation it says the following:

This occurs if you compiled PHP with MySQL database support. PHP utilizes its internal, bundled MySQL libraries by default. These conflict with the ``real'' MySQL libraries linked by mod_log_sql, causing the segmentation fault.

The solution is to configure PHP to link against the real MySQL libraries and recompile mod_php. Apache will run properly once the modules are all using the same version of the MySQL libraries.

Now my question is simple. How would I go about getting PHP linking against the real MySQL libraries ?

Thank you in advanced.

From the PHP .configure script:

--with-mysql[=DIR] Include MySQL support. DIR is the MySQL base directory.
If unspecified, the bundled MySQL library will be used."

So, probably the answer is to set up your own configuration and specifiy the path to the MySQL libraries instead of using the NCurses configuration "GUI" ...
