[TriLUG] Apache2 / PHP / MySQL Help?

[Blanchard Steven]

To ask a stupid question, have you tried restarting apache after  
installing php4-mysql?  I just ran a quick check on my test box using  
php5.  The loading of the mysql.so module required a complete restart  
of apache, not just a force-reload.

Oddly enough, the gd.so module only required a force-reload to be  
recognized by my installation.

Apologies if this was the first thing you tried
