RE: [PHP] installation problem

You don't need apxs to install mysql. apxs is a way to bind in the php into apache. for apxs your apache server has to be configured to use apxs. DSO - someone correct me here - dynamic shared object? runtime linkable - kind of linux dlls If running PHP module as a DSO needs Apache must use APXS if using static modules, use configure without apxs. Have a look at the apache configuration - you must be running at least apache 1.3 to have apxs support. You can see how apache is running by doing a httpd -T from a shell prompt (you may need to be root) have a look at http://www.apache.org/docs/dso.html for more legible info ;) www.apache.org/docs might be a good start to look to.

While I run ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs, the system cannot find apxs, why is that, how can I check whether apxs is installed (someone else was installed the server, not me). What are the difference between DSO and static modules, which one i should install in order to run php with database support. Your assistance is highly appreciated. Rgds Desmond
