MySQL configuration problem

[Anon]

I have a RedHat server running Apache, MySQL and PHP 4.0.6. PHP was installed before MySQL. When I run phpinfo() I see the config command '--without-mysql' listed.

I need to get MySQL support in PHP working ASAP. I am a newbie to Linux so please tell me step by step how to configure PHP for MySQL.

I have the PHP rpm (php-4.0.6.tar.gz)in a directory named /usr/local/downloads.
The php.ini file is in the /etc directory.
The extensions directory is /usr/lib/php4/.
The exectuable is in /usr/bin. The library files are in /usr/share/php/.

The webserver is up and running, MySQL is working and PHP scripts run but generate the error 'cannot load MySQL extension,
please check PHP Configuration.' if I try to access a MySQL database.

I hope that is enough information. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Try to install in order:

MySQL
Apache
PHP

If Apache comes with Redhat you have to reconfigure, make, make install and all that @!#$ after you have installed MySQL and then ones again when you have installed PHP.

Good luck :-)

u must reinstall apache for conf. into PHP and MySQl support:
#./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.6
--enable-track-vars
(like this conf. make mysql working as apache module...)
#make; make install
