hi,
Dan you need to compile these components from there sourcecode yourself if you wisch to specify options like --with-ldap installation from rpm binarys doesn't allow you to specify this try www.rpmfind.net to find all you need or grab the source and compile yourself (if you compile yourself all php & apache & mysql rpm must be removed first) for mysql you must add a user called mysql becaause the mysql server will not start if you are root (security)also you must install a standard requierd database goto
cd /usr/local/bin
id mysql
(mysql no such user)
useradd mysql
passwd mysql
(set password for user)
su mysql
cd..
./bin/mysql_install_db
(start mysql)
./bin/safe_mysqld &
starting the mysql deamon with databases from
(set the root password)
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password "mypassword"(without quotes)
(check if it's working)
./bin/mysql -u root -p mysql
enter password:mypassword
welcome to the mysql monitor
mysql >
if you see this mysql works you can create a database using a normal SQL satement like this
CREATE DATABASE testdatabase;
all of the above will work only if the rpms installed mysql at it's default location you should take steps that only the user "mysql" can read and write into the database directory
chown mysql /path/to/dir
chmod 700 /path/to/dir
i still think you need to compile yourself this option is much beter as you need to specify some flags
regards
Erik
