If you are using WebDAV with WordPress then most likely the WordPress .htaccess file will break the WebDAV configuration. One basic work around for this is to turn off the Apache Rewrite Engine for the directories that you want to enable WebDAV for.

# cd into a directory within your html root where you want to enable WebDAV
$ cd /var/www/path/source

# then create a .htaccess file and disable the Rewrite Engine
$ vim .htaccess

# paste this into the vim file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine Off
</IfModule>

Then follow the same steps for any other directories you would like to enable.

I’m noticing in my version of Centos on AWS that there are new package names for the installation of mysql:

yum install MySQL-client-community MySQL-devel-community MySQL-server-community

In addition there is a conflict in getting php to work with mysql.

Install the MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.47-1.rhel4.i386.rpm, it resolves the need for the old mysql lib dependencies for php-mysql, install first this rpm and after this, php-mysql. So performing these yum installs should get php and mysql working:

yum install MySQL-shared-compat
yum install php-mysql
