Re: More help with restore server

I fixed my problem, for those that are interested. I have now discovered the beauty of compiling from source. I ended up downloading php from the php.org site and compiled it. It repaired all php/mysql relationships and files and fixed my problem. These is latest of several occurances (not just php/mysql) where I was able to solve a problem by skipping the rpm and just compiling from source. Has anyone else found this to be the case?
