Where do I tell Apache which directory to run PHP from?

[rpupkin77]

Hello,

my system is apache running on redhat.

I have an issue where php is not recognizing mysql. I download and configured php4.4 with mysql and the configure ran smoothly,

However, the new install did not work as phpinfo() shows the old php info (php4.3 with no mysql support).

I found another php folder but it doesn't have a lot of the stuff that the unzipped php4.4 directory has. How do I get my apache to run the new php I installed?

Does the php shaed object have anything to do with this scenario?

have you checked out the httpd.conf file?

i don't have one in front of me, but i would guess it's in there, i don't "think" it'd be in the php.ini, but you could try there as well... make sure you are using the correct php.ini file tho

it is being run as a module, in my httpd.conf there is this line, what is the alternative? I know there is the script alias, but I heard that is bad practice.

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
