Jamie,
PHP works, MYSQL works, but I get errors galore. I have extension=mysql.so into php.ini
What exact errors are you having?
Take a look at http://[whatever] and see if you can see any anomalies please someone!
Not as far as php goes, but you might want to check the updates section for the RaQ4 on cobalt.com. Really, you would like to do that.
Good luck... Nico
