How-to Lighttpd, PHP, MySQL and Eaccelerator

[wpte]

Did anyone get things working with mysql 5 ? There is a package in the repository, but it does not want to start after install. phpmyadmin does not install after installing mysql5.
Does it still require recompling?

I don't think mysql 5 is ever going to work on these routers actually, probably because it's software design is a bit different compared to mysql4.
Also mysql5 requires more resources, and that while mysql4 only pulls of about 100kb/s max

in the end mysql 4 can do the same things mysql 5 can, apart from some really specialized stuff hardly used in regular webpackages

recompiling won't work either because the compiler on the router has problems with c++.
You might be able to pull it off with the crosscompiler after a bit of work
