how to recompile php with mysql when you installed php through rpm

Question

hi,

I have upgrade PHP version to 5.3.2 on fedora core 6 system through RPM. Now php is working fine but Mysql is not associated with PHP.

When I checked phpinfo it says '--without-mysql' '--without-gd' in configure command.

I tried running ./configure command which suppose to fire through source of php, but I've installed php through RPM, how do I find the source? ./configure command is not at all working.

Any alternative to recompile php with mysql if I install php through RPM.

Thanks,

Answer 1

Normally, whoever provides the PHP rpm will also provide a php-mysql or php4-mysql rpm. Look for it.

This might be helpfull to you.

Answer 3

Personally, I'd remove the RPMs, and then rebuild from source.

To find out what RPMs are already installed, use the RPM query command in conjunction with grep to filter your results:

rpm -qa | grep -i php

To remove the RPMs listed, do:

rpm -e <filename>

for each RPM you found in the query.
