I need some 'directions' regarding the following (please!).

I have ApacheV2 installed on my Fedora Linux system and as such it seems to be working as expected.

After that, I installed PHPV4, and that seems to be working as expected, both with Apache and externally.

But now I have a need to install phpBB, which requires the use of a database. I downloaded and installed the MySQL rpm (V4) and using some documented tests, it seems to work with the MySQL client.

But what I fail to understand is just how I kick PHP to understand MySQL is installed and running, because when I try to install phpBB, it says that it cannot access MySQL.

If you need to know more, do not hesitate to ask!!

Thanks,
Martyn
