php/mysql

big newbie question, but hopefully simple. If there's a howto, just point me to it and I'll come back to the list after I mess it up. I'm running redhat 7 on intel: If I want to install PHP with support for MySQL, do I need to install MySQL from source, or is RPM installation Ok?... I'm just thinking about the php configure script and specifying the path to mysql (configure --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql), and pointing the php configure script to the right directory in an RPM MySQL install. I want to install from RPM mainly because 1)it's easy and 2)it's easy - the rpm automates the symlinks in the rc.x directories, so mysqld starts at system startup. If I have to install from source, how difficult is it to get mysqld to start at system start... can I simply copy the mysqld binary in /etc/rc.d/init.d, then use ntsysv or chkconfig to configure mysqld to start at system startup? Thanks!
