Apache2 and php is a buggy combination? Not that I have seen.

Or are you referring to trying to use the Apache Worker (mutlithreaded)
MPM with php... I believe that is still a bit buggy, though, no rpms or
packages seem to install it that way anyways. I'm hoping to get
workerMPM working for me, too, as I have been having to use thttpd for
serving images recently.

I'm not sure how horked up RHES3 is, but, std. RH7-9, Mandrake 7.2-9.2,
Debian 3+ (among others) seem to have no problem what so ever
connecting php->mysql out of the box, provided you have a user account
on mysql to connect to and supply it in your my.cnf, php.ini or
mysql_connect statements.

keep in mind rh and mdk broke up the portions of php into separate
packages... such as php-imap, php-mysql, php-cli, php-ldap, etc. You
will need to install the php-mysql package if mysql_connect is not
being recognized. Also note, mdk has further separated the php.ini file
to use separate php include files, similar to how they broke up
apache's module configs... the structure is /etc/php.ini and
/etc/php/#_phpmodulename.ini..they load in order of their number...
This is good to keep in mind, as the mysql settings are no longer
included in the primary php.ini file but in 34_mysql.ini.
