[ale] MySQL 4 & PHP on Redhat Enterprise Linux?

[George Carless]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience with getting mysql 4.0 (or above) installed on a redhat 
enterprise linux box?  My opinion is that RHEL is a waste of money, but since it's a 'done 
deal' by our IT department I don't have much choice but to try to get 4 running on our server.  
Installing the RPM was easy enough, but I'm having a tough time getting mysql support in PHP 
(which is, I believe, provided by the php-mysql package.. but redhat's php-mysql package wants 
mysql 3.. )

I'd compile from scratch but, again, this is IT's box and they want to have everything 
RPMified.. why RedHat don't go beyond mysql 3 is quite baffling..

Any help much appreciated!
