Use the package manager to check and see if that was installed. I'm not familiar with the command line for rpmi, having used Yum on Fedora mostly, but on that you would just do a 'yum list apache-mod*' to see what apache mods were installed and available, so I assume something similar exists for rpmi. The task-lamp will be using MySQL, as it is the 'm' of lamp (Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk I agree with the earlier take on this situation; you need to start at the beginning and learn the basics regarding the technologies BEFORE you try and manage them. You're trying to drive a car when you don't even know what or car is and how to operate one so you keep crashing. Here are some great sites to check out: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/ http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1868 http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/MySQL_vs_PostgreSQL http://www.w3schools.com/ There are some great books out there as well to help you learn and I recommend getting the reference guides as well. Since the gist of this thread seems to be focused on the LAPP set-up and mainly an Apache (?) configuration issue you might try the forums and mailing lists found there as well. I hope you find this helpful.
