I though the documentation stated that all path variables need to be specified if it is outside your path. In any case I think even --with- mysql may be optional nowadays (Isn't mysql compiled in by default). It is most likely should be set to /usr (RPM'd binaries) or /usr/local ( MySQL compiled from tarball) > 2. Where would the path be likely to be on RedHat 7.2 with MySQL rpms? The easiest way to find this out is to check a RedHat phpinfo.php installation, you'd see that it is compiled as --with-mysql=shared,/usr. The "shared" part just meands that MySQL will be a dynamically loadable php extension instead of compiled in. Hope this helps, terry
