How to fix your problem ..


#1 - Check your ./configure string in your "phpinfo();"

If it says: --with-mysql=/usr then: you Should have it no problem.  Check
through the rest of your "phpinfo();" to see if it shows up.

If it says: --with-mysql=shared then you compiled it from a mysql.so.

If you did a "make install" it would be typically installed under:
/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-<more stuff>/

If that is the case, you will need to update your "php.ini" to reflect your
extension dir.  OR move the files in that directory to your extension.

FOR EXAMPLE:

On my RaQ 550, I do:
ls -l /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/

I do NOT have them there anymore (they default to there), I moved them to:
/usr/lib/php/extensions

Now in your "php.ini", which make sure you use the correct one.  Check your
"phpinfo();" to see where it is.  You will ned to make sure that your
extension directory is set properly.

FOR EAMPLE:

On my RaQ 550, I use:
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php/extensions"

Because that is where my .so are stored .. yours may be different.

To see this "phpinfo();" I talk about ... create a new file like phpinfo.php
and paste in the following lines:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

That can help you determine all of this information that I told you to look
for.

If you use this as a guide, you should get MySQL up and working.
