If you have PHP 4.0 and Apache running in RedHat 7.0, you can propably solve this problem immediately, but all advices are needed. I have a beginner's problem, which is related to RedHat's unordinary way to implemt Apache and PHP. I received detailed instructions how to install both Apache and PHP, but the problem occurred when I tried to start Apache and make a simple PHP script to work in my Linux computer. First I was unable to locate 'apachectl' program to start apache. Then I finally found from RedHat 7.0 reference guide that Apache can be started by typing: './httpd start' which is located at '/etc/rc.d/init.d/' directory. The result is OK and when I type './httpd status', I receive a message "... server is running ...". However, my simple PHP script: <?php phpinfo(); ?> is not interpreted at all. Also the test cgi program of Apache is not interpreted (I do not have any idea how that is implemented). I think I installed PHP 4.0 and configured Apache's configuration file properly, but is there anyway to verify that? Should I do also something else like move the PHP script into a specified directory? How can I verify that Apache is properly installed?
