Some time you read to much into things.
I went to several "HowTo" sites about setting up Apache/php/mysql
They all talked about what rpms you needed etc
each one talked about mod_php which was not installed when selecting
php options in the RedHat 7.2 install and doing rpm -q mod_php.
And phpinfo would not display. I spent hours trying to find and install
mod_php with various dependency issues and gave up.
Than an old time Linux friend said
"When I install RedHat I just say "install everything" "
And that is the key.
To fellow "newbies" to build yourself an Apache/Php/mySQL box...
Just install everything from the 7.2 cd
For mySQL..
shell>Mysqladmin -u root password 'xxxx'
To access mySQL from remote pc
shell> mysql -u user -p mysql
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO monty@localhost
-> IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO monty@"%"
-> IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
For phi.ini
I did nothing
For phpmySQLAdmin
edit config.inc.php for server address, user/password and upload
AND PHP IS UP AND RUNNING....
