Red Hat /Fedora doesn't like it, I had Apache working for months before 
I added php and mysql and only way I could get them all to talk was to
install them all as one (after removing them all).

Likewise if you install from scratch with the Fedora GUI and forget to 
add mysql support, you have to remove and install.

Theres probably a MUCH easier way but I don't know it! ;-0
