Do: /etc/init.d/mysql status If that says "mysql is not running" (or words to that effect) then do: /etc/init.d/mysql start >I have tried to recompile PHP using --with-mysql but it wont >compile even if >I specify the mysql location. It claims it cant find mysql.h IIRC you have to specify the parent directory. EG if you had: /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h then you would specify "/usr/include" >runnig locate mysql.h brings back nothing. If this is a fresh install you probably need to run "updatedb" to update the db that locate uses. regards -- Jason Wong Gremlins Associates www.gremlins.com.hk Tel: +852-2573-5033 Fax: +852-2573-5851
