I am using Red Hat 9 which comes with PHP. I have installed mySQL and tested it from terminal - it seems to be working fine. I am very new to Linux though. phpMyAdmin is producing the following error message from the browser "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP configuration. DOCUMENTATION (link)" I have checked the documentation, and it says to install a package called PHP-MySQL. I have downloaded this and (i think) installed it. But the error message remains. I am not that great with Linux - so any help you can provide will be very appreciated. Thank you Andy
