Since you say you're new to this stuff, let's start with the very basics.
RH7.0, I thought, was done poorly with many bugs. You can download their
latest RPM patches from their ftp server which will fix up a lot of these
bugs. With MySQL, my advice is to download the latest and greatest RPM
directly from their website, not RH's. If you're not going to bother
upgrading PHP then don't bother using persistent connections.
The next step, once installed/upgraded, check that the server is working ok.
Use ps -ef | grep mysql to find out.
