PHP not connecting to MySQL while installing PostNuke

[Marcelo Pena]

Thanks.

mysql.so is in /usr/lib/php4

My php.ini file says extension_dir = /usr/lib/php4

It looks like PHP was compiled with this as one of the commands:
--with-mysql=shared,/usr

Is the above the problem? Is "--with-mysql=shared,/usr" correct?

That helps me, because I thought PHP wasn't compiled with MySQL support. So
it appears that it is. Thanks. I won't need to recompile php, as I thought.

The version of php is from the new YDL 2.3 rpm's php-4.1.2-7.ppc.rpm, even
though my OS is YDL 2.2.

I've spent many hours trying to figure this out and it's getting very
annoying.
