Mysql – php manual install; path to apxs2/thesql

httpdMySQLPHP

I'm building php from source..
just wondering which mysql path do I specify for –with-mysql= and –with-mysqli because whereis mysql returns:

whereis mysql

mysql: /usr/bin/mysql /usr/lib/mysql /usr/share/mysql /usr/share/man/man1/mysql.1.gz

Also, I installed httpd via yum (RHEL5) so I'm wondering what path to use for –with-apxs2=

whereis httpd

httpd: /usr/sbin/httpd.event /usr/sbin/httpd /usr/sbin/httpd.worker /etc/httpd /usr/lib/httpd /usr/share/man/man8/httpd.8.gz

Thanks for any replies!

Assuming that you've installed mysql-devel and httpd-devel, you should be able to use:

--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib64/mysql --with-mysql-include=/usr/include

If you're building for 32 bit, drop the 64 from /usr/lib64.
