<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a clean installation of Fedora Core
5 where PHP cannot connect to the MySQL database.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>phpinfo shows that PHP was built "--without-mysql"
so I suppose that I have to rebuild PHP with :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>./configure --with-mysql</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>make</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>make install</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A few questions: do I need to add all the
parameters or just the "--with-mysql"?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are there any other "--with-" which I am likely to
need?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Which directory do I need to be in when I
issues the command - I have hunted around for this, will the
necessary code automatically be there after a "standard"
installation?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks,
Brendan</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
