For newbies like myself...searching the archives. Solved the issue.

Redhat & compatible distros including Centos compile Apache with support
for various softwares. However, actual support is provided through
plugin .so modules which are to be installed separately.

In my case it was php-mysql rpm, which I had not installed, so checking
php, I find that support is there & checking mysql I find that it is
working perfectly, but I could not connect them as the supporting .so
module was missing which was installed using the php-mysql rpm.

Same solution will apply in many cases of interoperability of various
modules with PHP.

BTW, I find that mysql_connect has been depreciated for
mysql_real_connect from version 5 or so.

Ciao.
Sanjay.
