Re: PHP, MySQL, * Mandrake 8.1

Additionally, I just noticed that although I installed the dev packages for both Apache and MySQL, I was not giving the MySQL path. If I attempt to give a path, the configuration still fails. The header files are in /usr/include/mysql. I've tried that path as well as /usr/include. Am I still missing a package? jce Joe wrote: > Ultimately, I am trying to use PHP from Apache.
