If the DBMS itself is in those directories, may receive start errors in PHP when trying to load the database extension. To prevent this problem, comment out the following line in your php.ini (assumes MySQL):
extension=mysql.so You may also want to set mysql.max_links = 0 as an additional measure but I don't think it's necessary.

My db's are running on a different server then my Webserver. I've temporarily mounted the directories from the db server to the webserver to compile db access. Once PHP/Apache are compiled can they be safely unmounted or will it give me problems somewhere down the line? I guess in short. Once compiled does PHP need anything from the database install directories? -- Ryan Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osgw.sourceforge.net ============================== "A computer scientist is someone who fixes things that aren't broken" --Unknown -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
