Bug 165599

What tool are you using for Package Management? And, if you try to up2date from
the command line, does the same thing happen?

Well I tried the following to solve it.  I removed the packages php-ldap-4.3.2-
24.ent and php-imap-4.3.2-24.ent.  I don't get a dependancy error anymore.  
What I had to do than was to remove php-4.3.2-24.ent, because the Redhat CD 
contained php-mysql-4.3.2-11.ent.x86_64.rpm and not compatible with 4.3.2.  
Once I had no modules of php installed on my system, I installed php-4.3.2-
11.xxx and installed the php-mysql module.  Everything was fine until I 
realized that installing the above rpms, my jvm was being pointed by redhat 
somewhere else and not the one I installed from Sun.  I wonder if Redhat knows 
of this.  I don't seem to know why installing php and php-mysql would change 
where my jre and jdk were pointing.  I had to reconfigure the system to point 
to the right JDK and JRE.  The odd thing is that I ran up2Date so that I get 
the new versions from php and php-mysql and  I don't get the JRE versioning 
problem anymore, so that is a good thing!

Ok, I am sorry I jumped too quickly.  I ended up having other errors within php
that state the following: 
"Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol
requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
The only reason when I installed it worked fine is because
mysql-3.23.58-16.RHEL3.1.x86_64.rpm was already installed.  I had to remove the
mysql-3.23.xx because it was too old and the client was also too old and not
compatible with our server that contains the
MySQL-server-standard-4.1.13-0.rhel3.x86_64.rpm.  Now when I try to install
php-mysql, I get a complaint stating the following:

error: Failed dependencies:
        libmysqlclient.so.10()(64bit) is needed by php-mysql-4.3.2-11.ent
        php = 4.3.2-11.ent is needed by php-mysql-4.3.2-11.ent
    Suggested resolutions:
        /mysql-3.23.58-16.RHEL3.1.x86_64.rpm

How do I find the correct php-mysql and php that is compatable to my system and
that will work?  Please help me out, I have been trying this for days with the
results getting worst and worst.  

I don't seem to be getting any response, it could be my fault.  I apologize for
not being clear enough.  Here is the problem again:

Both database server and webserver OS: Redhat ES 3 x86 64

Database server: It had the old mysql-3.23 preinstalled, but we had to update it
to the latest 4.1.13 version for the new functionality.  I had to remove the old
one and install the new one.  Done!  No problems with anything.

Web server: It had the old mysql-3.23 preinstalled with Apache and php.  I had
to manually install the php-mysql module.  I did and no problems, except when I
was trying to use mysql_connect() method of php, it complained stating the
client was too old and I would have to update the client version of mysql.  I
tried and ofcourse it would fail because I had mysql-3.23 installed.  I had to
uninstall the old mysql-3.23.  I had to uninstall php and php-mysql.  I went to
mysql.com and downloaded the following rpms and installed:
MySQL-client-standard-4.1.13-0.rhel3.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-devel-standard-4.1.13-0.rhel3.x86_64.rpm
MySQL-shared-standard-4.1.13-0.rhel3.x86_64.rpm
Ok now, so far so good.  I installed php-4.3.2-11.ent.x86_64.rpm.  Still no
problem.  Finally I tried to install php-mysql-4.3.2-11.ent.x86_64.rpm and than
I get an error stating the following:
error: Failed dependencies:
        libmysqlclient.so.10()(64bit) is needed by php-mysql-4.3.2-11.ent
        php = 4.3.2-11.ent is needed by php-mysql-4.3.2-11.ent
    Suggested resolutions:
        /mysql-3.23.58-16.RHEL3.1.x86_64.rpm
I have searched everywhere, the only solution that I seem to find is that I have
to install the MySQL-shared rpm.  I have already done so!  Please I beg someone
to help me out.  It is driving me nuts!  I kindly request for help, please!

For support using packages downloaded from mysql.com I'd suggest you contact
MySQL rather than Red Hat; perhaps try using the RHEL3 community support list,
taroon-list.

If you need further assistance please contant Red Hat Technical Support at
888-REDHAT-1 or file a web ticket at http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/.
