Dear Mapserver users,
I sent the following to the foss-gis forum this morning, but got no response. I'm wondering if any of you Mapserver experts can help me out with this problem? Earlier today I tried to re-install PHP, leaving the other FGS components intact. I did this after unzipping PHP 5.2.17 and using the command: # ./configure --with-apxs=/opt/fgs/www/bin/apxs --with-mysql However I get the error message: "sorry I was unable to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons: 1. Perl is not installed; 2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support; 3. 'apxs' is not in your path" So I failed to upgrade PHP (for mysql support), and I can't see why. Nor I can find out if re-installing the whole FGS package gives me the option of enabling mysql on the PHP component. As you may realise I am still learning about Linux! Can anyone help? In the end all I need is what I have already (FGS 5.4.0) but with PHP enabled for mysql.

It has been working fine since then but now I am in the process of upgrading my web site to incorporate a MySQL database and I encountered a PHP problem that I am not sure of the best way to fix. The PHP version that came with FGS is 5.2.5 and by using info.php I can see that it is not configured to support MySQL. As I see it my choices are: 1. Upgrade the existing PHP 5.2.5 to incorporate MySQL support 2. Re-install FGS using the current version, which I see incorporates PHP base 5.2.9 (I assume this is configured to support MySQL???) Maybe there are other options, but being fairly inexperienced in Linux I am looking for the easiest method with least disruption to the existing website. Can anyone offer me any advice? Chris Green
