umm well how can i go about and install php4?

well i started mysql , but i can't ping it

and when i try to set a password

#mysqladmin -u root -p 0141951 mysqladmin: connect at server at localhost failed access denied for users "root@localhost" (using password = "YES") #mysql -u root --password=0141951 #error 1045: access denued for user "root@localhost" using password = yes

Just install mod_php4 after removing mod_php. It's a good idea to get the latest available version from SuSE (http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/updates/71_i386.html). It should work "out of the box". Just remember that the file extention is .php (unless you specify otherwise in httpd.conf). PHP isn't fussy about the tags but "<?" is preferred over "<?php". I think I gave you instructions for SuSE 7.0; try this as su root: Set START_MYSQL in /etc/rc.config to "yes" and then run rcmysql start. This then states that the root password must be set as follows: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'password'. You are prompted for the current password, which is <NULL> initially. BTW, use a new password and don't share it! M -- Martin Webster <mwebster@ntlworld.com> Registered Linux User #230322 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/spider-monkey/
