PHP build incomplete error on ACID

["Shreyas Doshi" <shreyas.doshi () atssi biz>]

Hi all,

I originally posted this message off google groups and did not receive
any replies. Hence, I am re-posting it directly on the list. Any help
will be deeply appreciated.

I installed snort, acid, phplot, adodb, gd, php, and mysql as per the
instructions on
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~rdanyliw/snort/acid_config.html
on a Redhat 7.2 box running apache.

When I open the ACID URL, I get the following error:

PHP ERROR: PHP build incomplete: the prerequisite MySQL support
required to read the alert database was not built into PHP. Please
recompile PHP with the necessary library (--with-mysql)

The fact is, however, that I have compiled PHP with MySQL support. I
also tried installing php-mysql, guessing that maybe that could remedy
the situation.That did not work either.  I also tried to modify the
php.ini file in
/etc to say

"extension=mysql.so"
and
"extension_dir=.:/usr/lib/php4"   ('cos thats where mysql.so is
located).

Then, restarted httpd, but even this did not work.

First question:
Have I done the right thing in the php.ini file?

Second question:
How do I get rid of this error?

I am using Linux after a gap of 6 years, so I might be making some
mistakes - cant' figure out what though.

Cheers,
Shreyas
