Well, it seems there are some glitches with and snags and other fun stuff to deal with when doing a straight RedHat 8.0 install. It turns out you have to edit your /etc/php.ini and uncomment out the "extension=mysql.so" line for starters. It also helps to set "short_open_tag = On".
Another fun thing to contend with is the fact that "register_globals" is now off by default, soooo, read this page: http://www.zend.com/zend/art/art-sweat4.php to see how to get around this (without turning RG on of course). I have some sites that use .php and some that use .phtml and you'd think it would be as simple as modifying /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf, dupe the entry and change the extension. Wrong. What I did was change it to: <FilesMatch "\.(php|phtml|phps|php4|php3)$"> SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP LimitRequestBody 524288 </FilesMatch> DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml I use virtual hosts but none use SSL currently, and haven't figured that part out with the SSL.conf so I just renamed it to ssl.conf.disabled and created a virtual-hosts.conf that looks like this: <VirtualHost *> DocumentRoot /home/foo/public_html ServerName foo.com ServerAlias ww.foo.com *.foo.* ErrorLog logs/foo-error_log CustomLog logs/foo-access_log common </VirtualHost> And at the end of the httpd.conf file you have to turn VH on by uncommenting "NameVirtualHost *" And I also added this at the bottom to catch all that don't match with an entry in my virtual-hosts.conf file above: <VirtualHost *> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName localhost ErrorLog /etc/httpd/logs/error_log CustomLog /etc/httpd/logs/access_log common </VirtualHost> I also went ahead and installed mySQL-MAX, so you need to create a /etc/my.cnf file and put something like: [mysqld] # You can write your other MySQL server options here # ... innodb_data_home_dir= # Data file(s) must be able to # hold your data and indexes. # Make sure you have enough # free disk space. innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend # Set buffer pool size to # 50 - 80 % of your computer's # memory set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=70M set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=10M # Set the log file size to about # 25 % of the buffer pool size set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=20M set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=8M # Set ..flush_log_at_trx_commit # to 0 if you can afford losing # some last transactions innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1 set-variable = innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50 #innodb_flush_method=fdatasync #set-variable = innodb_thread_concurrency=5 skip-locking set-variable = max_connections=200 #set-variable = read_buffer_size=1M set-variable = sort_buffer=1M # Set key_buffer to 5 - 50% # of your RAM depending on how # much you use MyISAM tables, but # keep key_buffer + InnoDB # buffer pool size < 80% of # your RAM set-variable = key_buffer=10M Somehow the pretty "/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql" script has changed (probably due to mysqlMax) I like the old one with the green [ OK ] messages like everything else there and I'm not sure how to get it back :( but it works for now and I have innoDB tables, so I can't complain too much. Hope this helps someone and saves them the nearly 7 hours I've spent today getting it all working. Most of that is sifting through a million web pages and trying to find the magic incantation on Google to get the solutions.
