Way to build MySQL?

[Anon]

What is the correct syntax to build mysql with apache and php to get a web db going? If some one could give my the propper commands, because i used the article on the devshed site and for some weird reason i cannot get any php&mysqll script to work together. So if someone could help me out i would appreciate it thanks.

Ofcourse you tried to do what the PHP manual says?

As perl people use to say, there is more than one way do do it.

1st: install mysql (source or package).
Be sure it works.

2nd: install apache:
by package (rpm -i or apt-get)
by source: be sure to have some module enabled (at least one, or you wont be able to use php in dso)

3nd: install php
As you have installed apache with dso support, use the --with-apxs=/path/to/your/apache/bin/apxs

4: Be sure that httdp.conf has Those 2 lines:
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

5: load a php page containing phpinfo();

check that mysql is enabled.

Good luck
