Is there something special you need to do that the mdk7.2 packages won't
do? MDK7.2 has Mysql, Apache, and PHP 4 already included. The only
kink I found was that the mod_php rpm wasn't installed even using a full
install on my system. After manually installing mod_php and enabling
the php add-type entry in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf I found that
Apache/PHP worked perfect. I have to admit I haven't used PHP to access
Mysql yet on that system but it seems unusual to me that Mandrake would
build Apache, PHP, and Mysql together on the same system and not have
interoperability enabled. I suspect it'll work fine.
Concerning building all the above from scratch - I had no problems with
that either so long as I built Mysql from source instead of installing a
precompiled binary. I did run into a missing library problem when I
first tried using one of the binaries from the Mysql site. Try the
sources.
