frank, what was/is the output of rpm -qa | grep "php" use that to tell you what version of php/rpm you have installed. you can then either get the php-mysql rpm from fedora, or from one of the other mirror sites.. i think rpmfind.net/com should have it... once you have it, you can go ahead and do a 'rpm -ivh foo.rpm' and it'll install for you in the default locations... don't worry about a newer version of php/mysql for now... let's get this one tested/up/running 1st. also, let's stick to the php command line approach for now.. once we get this up, we can do the apache.. once that's working, then you can think about upgrading if you need to.. -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Frank Whitsell [mailto:frank@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 8:11 AM To: bruce Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: undefined mysql_connect() ??? Yes, updating php and mysql seems like a good idea to me. Here's the output of httpd -l: Compiled in modules: core.c prefork.c http_core.c mod_so.c I haven't used yum before (only rpm). The yum man page presents a number of commands and options. I have a couple of questions: Should I use rpm to remove the currently installed php and mysql packages before running yum to install (or use yum to remove them), or is removal necessary? What's the recommended yum command? That is, would I want to run "yum install, update, or upgrade", or any of those? How should I specify the pkg name? I want php4, not php5, and I want mysql 3.23.58 (or later if any) but not mysql 4. So would I use: yum install php, or yum install php-4.3, or yum install php-4.3.9 to get the same version I have currently installed, or what? Thanks again for your saintly patience. --frank-- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
