What do you see in the output of phpinfo()?  If the mysql module is loaded correctly,
you should see it listed in the modules list, and you should see the various settings.

If you do not see it, check to see if the mysql extension is commented out in the
/etc/php4/apache2/php.ini file.

You shouldn't need to do this.  I'm running a production server using the same setup
with no problems using the packages.
