Eg for Redhat > a suitable rpm would be named: php-mysql-4.1.2-7.i386.rpm. Hrm .... I now downloaded "php-mysql-4.1.2-1a.ppc.rpm" from rpmfinder, and again I get rpm -ivh php-mysql* Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package php-mysql-4.1.2-1a is already installed (Same error with -Uvh, too) So I suppose it's something else.

Is php.ini the only config file that might need to be edited? -- -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
