mysql.so

[wxdqz]

I am trying to use mysql with php. I was success with this on other computers. Recently I have had to set up a dedicated server and someone already installed apache, php and mysql.

So I fired up phpMyAdmin only to be greeted by :

cannot load MySQL extension,
please check PHP Configuration.

i checked php.ini and removed the comment out mysql.so extension, restarted the httpd demon and tryed again. Same message...

i can't find mysql.so anywhere on the system. is not included in the rpm? if not where can i find it? is it that simple?

any answers greatly appreciated.
