dear graylen fraley, u can start mysqld by adding a shell file it to your startup folder in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and use setup / linuxconf to activate it for boot time... did u install mysqld on another port??? by default, it's not on port 2002 I've installed php as a module, but it'll require u to install apache --enable-modue=so pls refer to INSTALL in the source distribution files of php for ways to manipulate apache httpd.conf ... hope it works regards, James I Gaylen Fraley wrote: > Ok.
