You need at least the MySQL client libraries to enable the MySQL module.
As far as I can see, though, the client library is only distributed with the server. Hmm, seems like a mistake to me.
Yeah, i did find Headers and Libraries only rpm... and I tried installing, even had the server administrator installing it... but i still can't get php support it. it was not able to find the directories.
so as a work around, I intalled the server with the client in the Web Server machine. MySQL is hosted on a different machine the DBServer.
After that, I was able to configure mysql to have the correct settings. And now they are working fine.
hmmm, wish I have Linux to play with at home. :|
If you had enough space or a spare machine, you could've created a separate partition and worked on that...
