Hi Gary. I have Apache 2.0.55 and PHP 5.1.2 working OK under SuSE Linux 9.2 pro. If you are getting PHP code in the browser, have you set the following in your httd.conf file: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php To tell Apache to pass any files ending in .php to the php module? Also, regarding the blank page, I think I got this because the settings in php.ini were not right. I have MySQL 4.0 running, and listening on /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock The default port for php wanted to connect to was /tmp/mysql.sock So I changed the value in php.ini, to tell php to connect to mysql on /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, and it worked OK. Here is how I compiled php, from the output of phpinfo(): Note that I compiled PHP against the latest mysql 5.0.18 libraries, although I'm connecting to a mysql version of 4.0 PHP Version 5.1.2 System Linux karsites 2.6.8-24.19-default #1 Tue Nov 29 14:32:45 UTC 2005 i686 Build Date Jan 21 2006 22:38:52 Configure Command './configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2-0-55/bin/apxs' '--prefix=/usr/local/php5-1-2' '--with-mysql=shared,/downloads/mysql/mysql-max-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23/' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' Server API Apache 2.0 Handler *snip* MySQL Support enabled Active Persistent Links 0 Active Links 0 Client API version 5.0.18 MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE external MYSQL_SOCKET /tmp/mysql.sock MYSQL_INCLUDE -I/downloads/mysql/mysql-max-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23//include MYSQL_LIBS -L/downloads/mysql/mysql-max-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23//lib -lmysqlclient Directive Local Value Master Value mysql.allow_persistent On On mysql.connect_timeout 60 60 mysql.default_host no value no value mysql.default_password no value no value mysql.default_port no value no value mysql.default_socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock mysql.default_user no value no value *snip* HTH Keith In theory, theory and practice are the same; In practice they are not.
