[cobalt-users] help using RPM

[James Triplett <james@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to install the PHP and mysql software.  For some reason,
installs don't seem to "take".  For example:

[root@blumeanie Sw]#rpm -i php-mysql-3.0.14-2.i386.rpm
[root@blumeanie Sw]#rpm -qip php-mysql-3.0.14-2.i386.rpm 
Name        : php-mysql                    Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version     : 3.0.14                            Vendor: (none)
Release     : 2                             Build Date: Fri Jan 21 09:21:54 2000
Install date: (not installed)               Build Host: ames.iowalab.com
Group       : System Environment/Daemons    Source RPM: php-3.0.14-2.src.rpm
Size        : 81036                            License: GPL
Summary     : MySQL database module for PHP3.
Description :
This is a dynamic shared object (DSO) for Apache that will add MySQL
database support to PHP3.  If you need back-end support for MySQL,
you should install this package in addition to the main php package.
[root@blumeanie Sw]# w


Note that I ran "rpm -i" to install the package.  Then "rpm -qip" to
enquire about it's status; the status still says "not installed".

Any ideas what's up?

thanks
