Hello Everyone, I am trying to compile php from source using the following config: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/bin/mcrypt --with-mysqli --with-gettext=./ext/gettext --with-pear --with-libxml-dir=/usr/include/libxml2 --with-zlib --with-gd --enable-pcntl Note the mysqli without pointing to /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config. The problem is MySQL is not installed on the machine, it is actually installed on another server. MySQLi Suport: mysqli MysqlI Support enabled Client API library version 5.1.49 Active Persistent Links 0 Inactive Persistent Links 0 Active Links 0 Client API header version 5.1.49 MYSQLI_SOCKET /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock Directive Local Value Master Value mysqli.allow_local_infile On On mysqli.allow_persistent On On mysqli.default_host no value no value mysqli.default_port 3306 3306 mysqli.default_pw no value no value mysqli.default_socket no value no value mysqli.default_user no value no value mysqli.max_links Unlimited Unlimited mysqli.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited mysqli.reconnect Off Off The machine I compiled PHP on does not have mysqli.so, and so I am recieving the "fatal call to undefined function mysql_connect()" error. Can someone tell me how to compile php from source with mysql support, but actually mysql is installed on a different server? Can I download a precompile mysqli anywhere? The PHP version is 5.1.49 as noted earlier. Thanks in Advance, Nick
