[cobalt-users] MySQL-PHP-RAQ4 dilemma!

["Greg Conway" <greg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to that exactly that - add MySQL to my RaQ4. It came by default
with PHP4 but no MySQL.

I've installed all 4 RPMs (including the developer part and everything) of
the latest version, and MySQL is working fine. I've got DbTools (fantastic!)
to interact with it, no probs.

However, I have reason to believe that PHP has been compiled without MySQL
support. Namely 'cause phpMyAdmin doesn't work and I'm clutching at the only
thing on the install list that I didn't do myself (ie php4 was pre-installed
and is built into the GUI, unlike my RaQ3 where I added it in).

When I first started tinkering around with adding PHP4 to my other RaQ3, I
remember using tarballs with switches to ensure MySQL support was installed.

So, my question is, how can I tell if PHP has been compiled with MySQL
support or not, and if not, how can I add it in without breaking whatever's
already there!! I presume PHP will be an RPM (or even a .PKG?), so can I
specify these options within RPM installation?

Many thanks for any help.

Regards,

Greg Conway.
