Call to undefined function: mysql_connect()

I installed rh myself. In fact this was the second install of it i did on the box. THe first one i did standard install, this one i picked custom specificly for the purpose of getting mysql and php. I told it i wanted databasing.. i dunnea what happend

It seems that MySql in indeed installed.
Try /usr/bin/safe_mysqld &
This should start mysql no problem
After entering the command, type ps ax
you should see a bunch of mysql processes running

That particular error most probably means that php was compiled without MySQL support. (In some cases the default is Postgres -- can't keep up with all the sundry Linux distros. )
You will need to enable it in the php config, then recompile.
You can find out if it is installed by making a page with just this on it:
<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>
Then look at the page.

More than likely, you do not have support compiled into php, and you'll have to add it to the config file.

Cheers.
