Thanks... I obviously misunderstood what I was reading.. It saw a lot of examples where --with-mysql=[pathhere] ...was indicated.. Thereby suggesting that this configure switch was for a local install of mysql..

    You'll then need to configure the MySQL server to allow
connections from your web server and write your script to do the connection - both of which are out of the scope of this particular list. I'm sure you're aware how to do both anyway.

Correct...
