 Posted: Tue May 18, 2004 1:30 am Post subject: enabling mysql support in php |
 |
|
I first emerged apache + php + mod_php, then mysql, but i found my php was installed without mysql support. My question is:
Instead of re-emerge php with USE="+mysql", is there any quick way to just enable mysql support for my existing php installation?
Thanks, |

No there is no way to do that except via USE flags.
Note that you do not enable an USE flag by doing USE="+mysql", for example. The plus sign is an error. You simply write (note, no +). Yes, you disable them by adding a dash in front, but you don't need a plus sign to enable them.

hmm..., just did
| Code: | | USE="mysql" emerge php |
but no go! phpinfo() still shows --without-mysql, maybe i should go
| Code: | | USE="mysql" emerge mod_php? |
any ideas? or maybe i should go one step further by
| Code: | | USE="mysql" emerge apache php mod_php mysql |
by the way, do i do unmerge first in each case?
thanks, |

you need
| Code: | | USE="mysql" emerge php mod_php |
apache isn't affected by the mysql USE tag but php and mod_php are. You can check which USE tags come into play for an ebuild by doing
| Code: | | emerge -pv php mod_php |
This will list all the USE tags that can be used for those ebuild with active ones in red and inactive ones in blue. |
