Re: Binary install instructions wrong?

Gah, mysql and PHP woes
I hope this is the right mailing list so here goes.. Anyone have any good information on how to setup PHP and mysql? I downloaded the latest mysql binaries and placed them in /usr/local/mysql php was already installed on my system, redhat 7.2 but for some reason it couldn't find any of the mysql functions. I noticed when I looked at the config php, for mysql php was pointing to /usr So I downloaded the latest php, ./configure --with_mysql /usr/local/mysql (or whatever the parameter is), installed it, but yet more problems with libraries. Anyways, I tried so many different things and ran into so many problems I won't include them all here... But does anyone out there have a step by step guide to get this running?

Re: Gah, mysql and PHP woes
I can get PHP to work fine, its just the mysql functions... The PHP setting --with_mysql points to /usr but its installed in /usr/local. The only way I found to change this is to recompile PHP but then I run into a multitude of problems for some reason. If you could send me that, it would be great.

[snip] I followed the instructions from the Create dynamic sites with PHP MySQL I downloaded from http//www.ibm.com/developerWorks (you have to register first). If you want I can mail it to you off-list (it's a pdf file), but if you follow the online version you can copy-paste the example code (saves a lot of time and typos!). However I must add PHP and apache were already installed on my RH7.3 system, and I only had some probs with apache...
