PHP with MySQL doubt

Hi I have an account on a hosting service provider. They have a server with a lot of clients... and there, each client has his own Apache binary compiled with PHP 4. They also offer MySQL... but they only have ONE server for all their customers, and so, they just offer one db to each one. I need to have a lot of different db, so I compiled my own MySQL on the server The General MySQL runs at port 3310 I compiled my own MySQL to run at port 3311 I tried it with php, conecting to localhost:3311 and it works fine (with phpMyAdmin)... Now, the question is: Should I do something special with my Apache/php? I generally compile my PHP with the --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql But now I am using normally the preinstalled PHP on the server without any problem... Should I recompile my php and tell to the ./configure script the path where my own MySQL is? or it isn't necesary? Thanks! Pablo Pasqualino Mar del Plata, Argentina http://www.marplatense.com
