I'm a newbie to Linux and Apache, not so new to php itself. I'm using Red Hat 7.2. The RPM installs apache with php, etc. as part of the standard install but --without-mysql in the configuration. I've read quit a bit on how you are supposed to be able to update the configuration etc. ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql etc. The trouble is I have no clue as to what directory I'm suppose to be running this in. I'm tempted to install a newer version of PHP (Red Hat 7.2 comes with 4.0.6) as the documentation on installing from source code seems to be a bit clearer. Can I install over the top of the existing module or would I have to uninstall that package first? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Eric
