bug with mysql5

[beerco]

after you update mysql from 4 to 5, php and other programs are still linked to mysql4 libmysqlclient_14.
Therefore, as soon as you restart apache, the libphp4x.so will fail.

Just thought I'd drop a line. I'm using cpanel to develop an addon script for phpmail. Not in a production environment so it's no big deal.

you may need a apache recompile in order to have the php core files to be properly linked after mySQL upgrade.

I am facing this problem. How should I do the "apache recompile"? Will it break other apache stuff such as mod_security etc?

if you compiled apache initially with easyapache (via CPANEL WHM),
then just do it again,
go to "Software -> Apache Update"
click "load previous config"

and UNCHECK!! Skip Apache Build if up to date

then doublecheck the other checkboxes..
then build..

Even easier ... just symlink to the updated library file!

Only takes like 2 seconds ....

mv /usr/local/cpanel/lib/libmysqlclient.so.14 /usr/local/cpanel/lib/libmysqlclient.so.14.backup
ln -s /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 /usr/local/cpanel/lib/libmysqlclient.so.14

Don't forget to restart Apache afterwards
