Sometime maybe I'll get into pear, but at the moment I need to set up the machine and get it working with a lot of scripts that have long since been written. I'm really not interested in embarking in another direction, thank you.

The Apache server works fine, and loads the php module just fine. PHP is working fine. Libphp4.so is loaded. I can type in the user name and password I'm using in the script and connect to mysql on the command line. > >> > >> Can anyone help? > >> > >> TIA, > >> Paul > > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
