PHP and MySQL won't work together

[Maskkkk]

I just compiled from source:

[list=1]
Apache2 (2.0.52)
mysql (4.0.21)
php (4.3.9)
[/list=1]

I followed the tutorial at this link (http://www.hostlibrary.com/installing_apache_mysql_php_on_linux) to install and compile all of them from source.

Previously I had installed Apache 1.3.x, mysql, and php from *.tgz package files from Slackware. But when they ddn't work I uninstalled them and decided to compile from source.

Everything appeared to go fine, and everything appears to be working:

[list=1]
Apache loads and serves pages
mysqld runs and connects to the mysql client
testing the phpinfo() function displays the right page
[/list=1]

I've been trying to run a php program to access my mysql database with, you probably heard of it phpmyadmin. I have installed phpmyadmin in the document root of my server. (and configured it including adding the tables to mysql) When I run phpmyadmin I get a blank page in my browser, no errors or anything.

I also don't get any output in the log files despite configuring them. I've even tried interactive mode (-a) with the php command.

Thank you,

Have a look at this thread (http://justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?postid=771938#post771938) and try the first script there.

Thanks man! I figured it out, all I needed to do was change the user, and thanks to your code I could see that the user that was being used couldn't see the tables needed to run phpmyadmin.

Thanks,
