#36772 [Opn->WFx]: Apache installation docs erronously suggest AddType rather than AddModule

ID: 36772 Updated by: nlopess@php.net Reported By: noodlet at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Rasmus comments about this ( http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=110358407015432&w=2 ): "There was a time when there was no AddHandler directive. Addtype was the way you did this. Since AddType works with every version of Apache I never saw a reason to change this even after AddHandler was added since it is purely academic in nature." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-17 18:50:24] colder@php.net Ok, if AddHandler is definitely the term to have in the manual for Apache1/2, then here is the patch : http://www.colder.ch/patches/apache-configuration.patch Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-17 16:54:51] noodlet at gmail dot com Sorry! I meant AddHandler, not AddModule. AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps noodl (Must remember to think before typing) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-17 15:33:06] mike@php.net What are you talking about, AddModule just loads the libphp[45].so apache module? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-17 15:26:36] noodlet at gmail dot com Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php Has: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps as part of step 15. While this _works_, it's an old and grotty hack. The correct directive to use is AddModule. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36772&edit=1
