Hello, I am installing a LAMP setup. I've installed MySQL on AIX, but that was binary (recommended for AIX by MySQL site) and all I did was gunzip in the directory I wanted MySQL installed in and soft linked the that with '/usr/local/mysql'. I've just installed Apache2 and I am not sure if the order I do PHP and MySQL matters. My question is, should I use the RPM or build from source for MySQL. Am I losing anything by going with RPM as opposed to installing MySQL with ./configure options? It doesn't appear that I have to link to any MySQL source with PHP, just use the --with-mysql switch, so RPM is ok with me, but If I go with RPM, where are the config files to tell MySQL that I want the data to be in a specific directory? If I go with source, are there any configure options that I want to make sure I have?
What are your thoughts/experience? Thanks in advance, James -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
