If you're comfortable with installing from tarballs I recommend that you remove RPMs of apache, mysql and php and install all three from source (google for LAMP guide or similar). This is much better in the long run as you can upgrade each of them independently without having to wait for RH to release the relevant RPMs. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
