@clint Thanks- you're quite right! I don't know why I would have done that, now to find out what's broken with the 'downgrade' of PHP.
Know anything popular that would have required building PHP 5.4 from source? Guess I'll have to keep an eye on the logs, lame! Moved the /usr/local/bin/php to /usr/local/bin/php.old. Now $ which php gives /usr/bin/php But running $ php gives: /usr/local/bin/php - not found So I symlinked /usr/local/bin/php to /usr/bin/php and off we go :) Thanks again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1034454 Title: 12.04 Dist-upgrade breaks PHP extensions > pdo_mysql.so symbols To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1034454/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
