some php problems

Hello!
I've gotten some php problems.
I want to install mysql,apache and php under linux.
but I get php4 instead of php5.
I've gotten both of them installed right now.
how do I edit this thing?
also, is there a version of phpadmin, that works with php5?

And finally, my friend(it's his server) is talking about something he calls bear.
how do I install that?
I'm using debian. the latest lenny version.

Presumably the problem is that Apache is using the wrong version of PHP. 
If you're using Apache2, try installing libapache2-mod-php5 or if using 
apache1.3 install libapache-mod-php5.  This should remove the PHP 4 version 
as it is a conflict.

I assume you mean phpmyadmin.  Phpmyadmin works with both, and the version 
in Etch will work with whichever is installed.

Sounds like it's pear.  Just install the php-pear package.  There are also 
a lot of pear extensions that are available in Debian as packages, so if he 
wants particular extensions you might be able to simply install those 
extension packages and php-pear will be pulled in along with them.

Note that I'm using Etch so there may be a few differences.

Hello!
Ok, thanks for the replay.
Now another thing, php won't work, whenever I try to access a php site that 
I've put on my computer I just get a dialog box that says that my computer 
wants to save it as
a plain file instead of opening it.
what is this?

Do you have libapache2-mod-php or libapache-mod-php installed, as opposed 
to their version 4 counterparts?

Oh and yo need to actually enable it.

ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf  /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf

If you're running apache 1.x, use /etc/apache instead of /etc/apache2 
though it might be done differently there.

Probably good to check the PHP5 config file to check that it's set up how 
you want.

Geoff.

Depends whether you mean the root password or a user password.

User passwords are stored in the mysql database, in the user table.

You can change a user password by using the following query:

set password for 'user'@'localhost' = password('newpassword');

Note that mysql usually has two entries, one for user@yourhostname and one 
for user@localhost.  You may want permissions to be different for each of 
these depending on your security requirements.

Note also that you can change the root password this way *if* you can login 
as root.

By default, root has no password so if you haven't changed it, "mysql -u 
root" should get you in as root.

If you *have* set the root password and can't remember what it is and 
haven't granted yourself all root privs as a user account, read 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
