Getting MySQL4 to work with an apt-get php version?
I installed mysql4 from source, but now i've got a problem in that I cannot get php to connect to mysql properly. I get the following error: extension not found
I tried doing apt-get install php-mysql however it of course thinks that mysql is not on the system and so tries to go ahead and install mysql.
The reason I wanted to install mysql from source is so that I could use version 4, however if possible I wanted to install php using apt-get since there pretty much up to date on the php front.
By the way, mysql works fine, it just seems to be the problem that fedora core 1 does not 'recognise' the mysql install.
Im almost tempted to just scrap mysql4 and go back to 3 if I cannot solve this soon..

Im on fedora too and had the same problem. I looked into it and came up with the following URLs. I haven't tried it because to be honest I couldn't be bothered, sticking with Mysql3 for the time being.
Anyway, try this
and from that mailing list…
HTH,
Krag
ended up just removing my install and starting again and did yum install mysql
however for some reason there is no mysqld been installed (or mysqld_safe for that matter)
seems a little strange… Have you had this same problem?
