Configuration of PHP 4

[Anon]

I'm (again) trying to install and set up mysql, apache and php4. I have installed the tar version og mysql to /usr/local/mysql and have also installed the RPM versions of apache and PHP4. Apache and php work fine together BUT php refuses to connect to mysql. I've tried a lot of the normal solutions to this common problem, but with no luck.

Do I need to tell PHP 4 the location of mysql? How does php know where the databases are?

HELP!

I forgot to mention that I'm installing onto a linux Mandrake 8.0 machine.

Hola!!
De hecho en PHP cuando tú lo compilas, debes de compilar un RMP que es específico para MYSQL. de hecho don 2: el cliente y el servidor. Eso es todo.
