Hmm ... can you download the sources of mysql from dev.mysql.com and compile it yourself? If you cannot find a binary distribution of mysql then this is probably the only way left. Yes, I'm also thinking about some compatibility problems between your MySQL installation and the module.

An update.

mysql is up. apache is up. php (I think is up ).

I can see the site from an internet explorer. but only the index.php.

Because index.php is a login page.

Unfortynately I cannot loggin, because mysql cannot see the tables which contain the user names and the passwords.
And of cource I cannot see directly a specific page inside the site.
It redirects me to login page.

So, I will start searching about mysql.
But I will mention a fact that I noticed.

from my pc (windows xp) I'm using a mysql client and I can administrate the database in production server.
The database that is copy/pasted in Solaris, is taken from production server.
So, from that tool I can see that almost the half tables are MyISAM-type,
and the others are ISAM-type.

In Solaris, mysql cannot see ISAM tables (the tables are there, I can see them, but when I'm clicking on each of them, ite provides me an error like:
[intranet] ERROR 1016: Can't open file: 'Calendar.ISM'. (errno: 138),
and of cource I cannot see the data.).

So, thank you for your help, and your usefull advices. They saved me from a lot of trouble.

I'm starting my search.

p.s. all the DBD::mysql module stuff didn't complete. I don't know why.
DBD resisted hardly to be installed.
I installed an rpm package which plays well in Solaris 8.
Of cource I have Solaris 7, but I tried to see if it works. But....
