RE: [PHP-INST] php4 test asks me if I want to download the file test.php ?

The faq item I was referring to is faq # 6.8 http://www.php.net/FAQ.php#6.8 I realise now that it's about Unix specifically, sorry about that. As for the numerous "flat out wrong" tutorials and installation instructions for php (I assume you mean ones written by the actual php group, or on the php site, otherwise you wouldn't be complaining on this list, right?) - perhaps you should give some references to where you found these "flat out wrong" instructions. -----Original Message----- From: hi [mailto:noneofyourbusiness@none.com] Sent: Thursday, 29 March 2001 9:21 PM To: php-install@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-INST] php4 test asks me if I want to download the file test.php ? Hi, No it is not. I checked there first. I have all the httpd.conf changes in correctly. And this from the installation instructions is flat out wrong: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php /* for PHP 4 */ It should be: AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php /* for PHP 4 */ It's amazing...every tutorial and set of installation instructions parrots this line out, and it is FALSE, WRONG, INCORRECT. As is the directive to move php4ts.dll and php.ini to the windows directory. WRONG!!! You only have to do that if you install php as a module, and virtually no one does that. I reinstalled apache and made some changes to the answers to the installation wizard's questions, and now my php file parses. -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-install-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-install-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
