Also, On the phpinfo.php MYSQL_SOCKET /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock MYSQL_INCLUDE -I/usr/include/mysql MYSQL_LIBS -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient ARE MISSING. When I run a phpinfo.php page I get all my config info with my php.ini file put in the etc dir i get no mention of the above mysql information with the php.ini file removed or renamed and then running a phpinfo page I get MYSQL information in my config file. So what can I do because the php.ini file just shows config info I don't think I can modify it to see mysql can I? doesn't that have to reply on the rpm install? or when the php libary was built?
