RE: [cobalt-developers] Configure PHP to work with newly added MySQL

["John Meyerhofer" <jmeyerhofer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually all I did was uncomment the 'extention=mysql.so' line in the
php.ini file and MySQL worked
fine from my PHP files.

      MySQL


I had this same problem.  The original web server is not configured for
MySQL.  I resolved it by going into /usr/sbin and copying httpd to ahttpd.
This gives you two separate web servers.

Then I downloaded and built one with the support I needed for my site.  It
became /usr/sbin/httpd.  It's working fine, but I lost the rewrite rules
for
the admin site.  So I can't use http://cobalt.box/admin... but I can still
use http://cobalt.box:444/.  Which is fine as far as I'm concerned.

You will also want to install DBI for Perl and the MySql Perl modules.
This
will allow you to use the set_permission script that's already installed in
/usr/bin.

Oh, and don't expect the MySQL server to get started automatically.

Once it's all configured it runs very nicely.  No thanks to Cobalt.

If you think that maybe it's a good idea to compile PHP with MySQL support
as a load module for the httpd that ships with the Cobalt, I wish you luck.
I lost a couple of days trying to make this work.
