In order for me to get PHP to work with DSO(dynamic shared objects)I ended up using

RH 7.0 Plain Jane (Stock)New install

Mysql 3.22.32 (This I think can go higher)

Apache 1.3.20 nothing else worked, tried old and much older ones.

PHP 4.0.4pl1 nothing else higher or lower worked here. I did 5 reinstalls today from scratch trying each one.

My Steps
MySQL First of course
I left this out since it's rather simple.

Apache Next
./configure -enable-module=most --enable-shared=max
(This enables the DSO support)
make then make install

PHP Last Config
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql-3.22.32-pc-linux-gnu-i686/ --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache_1.3.20/bin/apxs
make then make install

Uncommented the PHP4 in HTTPD.CONF and restarted Apache
./bin/apachectl restart

all worked and I am very happy

Since I have only started digging into Linux with PHP, run it on Win2K, I thought this might help someone else. Ya I know there are other ways but this worked but if there is something I should have added Please let me know

Cheers

    PHP, MySQL, Apache will not run correctly one Win2K (this is why i think you had trouble). If you can find a combo that works, good for you, I think the reason is Microsoft designed Win2K to operate in reference to ASP and not to function well when trying to run another servers (Such as Apache) I suprised you where even able to get them each working on a Win2K or NT.

      My Win2K works great, has for 5 + months<G> My Linux one was the one that was being a royal pain..
