Re: PHP, APache and Mysql on Redhat linux 7.3

The main problem with the default redhat versions is that the mysql does not seem to include the max version allowing the use of innodb (at leasst I could not find the rpm on the distribution disks) , hence the reson for installing the later version of everything. I tried commenting out the if statemsnt and apache complaind tha t mod_php.so did not exist. php -v gives the version 4.1.2 I have the line: AddType application/x-httpd-hp .php .php4 .php3 .phtml However I had ommitted to add .htm ( some of my scripts are htm containing php) The system now works correctly. Many thanks for your patience and help.
