Hi,
I need to ask a question about the usuage of these particular
packages...do you install the binaries for each or do you use what
comes with the OS out of the box??? The reason why I am asking is
because I am having problems using the one that comes with the OS.
Everything else runs great but I am using CentOS for the first time
and I want to make sure that I am not spinning my wheels doing
something that I should leave alone. Thanks!

Thanks!Did you install the php-mysql package and restart Apache? Oh, and don't futz with the Apache config files re PHP; they're all set up for you assuming you use the stock packages. -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazquez at ivazquez.net> http://centos.ivazquez.net/ gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 38028b72 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks!I do both. The easiest way, hands down, is the packages. Just 'yum install blah', start up the services and you should be good to go. If you're new to CentOS and linux in general, the single most important tip I can give you is: look at your logs, they tell you everything! Also, if you want the most out of these lists, then you should describe your problem with specific details and refrain from using general statements like, "I am having problems...". The only way we can help is if you tell us what's wrong. later, ajay

Seeing as Cent is based on it, it would be identical. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
