installing mySQL with apache?

[pnandrus]

I have mySQL installed on my machine as well as Apache. However, i haven't done any configuration of the httpd.conf file to tell apache anything about mySQL like i did with PERL. do i need to do any configuration before i can interact with mySQL through apache? or can i just have at it? thanks

Apache doesn't talk to mySQL. Most people use PHP or Perl, though any CGI can do it. I think there's a lot more about this in the PHP forum.
