ok .............. deep breaths .... (in through nose, out through mouth) ...... (in through nose, out through mouth) ...... (in through nose, out through mouth) ......
Per the many suggestions ... I've spent the last three hours trying to get Apache/PHP setup. Apache 2.2.6 is working fine .... I downloaded gunziiped PHP 5.2.5 ... untarred, and started to go through the Apache2/PHP Unix installation as found here: http://us.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php
The instruction say .... ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql
So, I did this and got the error message: "configure: error: Cannot find MySQL header files under yes."
On the thread located on this page, one user quoted ..... "| There is little or no documentation regarding the fact that MySQL Client Library isn't bundled with PHP anymore. The installation instructions need to be changed with, at the very least, some instructions for how to get PHP to recognize that the client library is installed. I realize that this may be a problem with licensing and as such, it's not possible to document too much regarding MySQL..."
Other messages seem to indicate that either: a) MySQL has to be on that box now in order to get the libraries b) you have to download mysql and compile it in order to get the libraries.
Can some PLEASE (and I am beggin now) please point me where I can get the PHP MySQL libraries so I can finish configuring my PHP with Apache, so I can correctly test Drupal 5.3 on that system .... Or ................. should I just use an older version of PHP 5.x that DOES have these mySQL libraries ....
========================================================================================================================== As you might remember from previous messages ... I did two installs of Drupal 5.3 on Resin. One one machine (my laptop) Drupal-Resin-MySQL were all on one machine and it ran without issues. Perfectly fine!
In our real-world work environment ... reasonably so, the MySQL Server is on another machine/server and run by MySQL DBA's. And when I did a Resin/Drupal install ... it worked ... but then started to break .... but that could have been on modules issues or something else ....
I certainly know (ok, i presume) that Drupal 5.x will perfectly work on Apache/PHP on one machine while the database resides on another machine. Right!
I've provided as much information as I have ... if you need more ... please ask me nicely ....
Please ... I am begging again ... help me with install PHP with the Mysql Libraries so I can finish configuring it and setting it up.

I assume that you are on a Linux box (if not, please ignore the following). So, why don't you use the packages provided by your Linux distribution? All Linux distributions have packages for the software that you need. And my opinion is to use at most Apache 2.0.x (I am not currently aware of any hosting provider that uses Apache 2.2.x) and MySQL 5.0.x. If you need further info on this, tell us which Linux distribution that you use and we'll provide you with information and instructions on how to install all the above.
CentOS release 4.5 (Final) and yes it is linux ....
and so I have to deprecate to Apache 2.0.x .... the requirements on the Drupal site specified 2.x ... so I presumed that meant 2.2 as well as 2.0.
I was trying to find the rpm for mysql-devel in order to get the libraries installed ....

I don't run CentOS.

Although I've never used it myself, I've heard Yum for RPM is similar to Apt for Debian and should help you with installing software. Unless you absolutely have to compile it yourself, you might try using Yum instead.
