What these people probably meanth was that you should recompile PHP (and nothing else) so that *PHP* would have support for MySQL and Apache. Look in the file INSTALL in your PHP distribution directory for how to make PHP. Before "make":ing PHP, you need to configure it by running the script "configure". Run ./configure --help to get a list of options. The ones you would be interested in are probably "--with-mysql" and "--with-apxs" (to get PHP installed as an Apache module). You could get into trouble if you have compiled PHP previously without having MySQL installed on your system. In that case, you might need to delete the file "config.cache" before running "configure". Hope this helps. / Johan -- johan@tiq.com -- http://www.obsession.se/johan/ --
