I've setup PHP/MySql on apache several times now on linux or OSX (standard), but OSX Server comes with apache and php and mysql.

The thing is their apache doesn't appear to be configured with the mysql module to allow web transactions into mysql.

Am I just missing something in the /etc/httpd/http.conf file?

I'm fairly competent when it comes to compiling and configuring unix, but I don't want to 'mess up' the existing apache or mysql.

I've looked at Apple's site and at other online resources and can't find anything but starting from scratch. Does anyone know where the sourcefiles are for apache? Or how to add the mysql support?

TIA.

If you're worried about "messing up" the existing install, why not just compile up a new apache? Get it here:

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

I don't think there is any such thing as adding mysql support to apache. Apache is just a web server. Instead, you want to make sure PHP has MySQL support built in.

Sheesh, yeah I forgot its really the php config that adds the mysql functionality for the webserver.

I'm astonished it isn't available by default, since both mysql and php are installed on OSX Server.

Thanks for the push in the right direction.
