Re: Problems installing PHP

Hi Chris, when I started to use PHP I discovered the same problem because you have to add these lines of code into http.conf file

    # And for PHP 4.x, use:
    #
    <IfModule mod_php4.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    </IfModule>

, add these lines into the file mod_php4 under ../http/modules

    Variable:HTTPD_SEC_MOD_PHP
    LoadModule:LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
    AddModule:AddModule mod_php4.c
    Text:PHP4

and place the module file "libphp4.so" under the exact path. The last problem is to recompile apache specifing to implement PHP4 functionality. I suggest you to read how to recompile your Apache with this option into the Apache's man page. If you want I can send you a copy of apache compiled to support it directly. Good luck and have a nice day Tiziano Crimella Chris Guest wrote:

I confess I am a newbie to PHP... I have a development server that I am using to test with. The server is running RH 7.3 Linux, Apache 1.3.19 and FrontPage 2002 extensions. I have read the README and docs on installing PHP...I can't get PHP to work. I don't see any errors while installing or unloading and reloading httpd. I created a test page with <? phpinfo(); ?> in it. When I try to go to that page I get a prompt that I am about to download a page. If I download the page and open it...all I see is <? phpinfo(); ?> . I just need PHP for a few script if it makes any difference. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. -- Thanks, Chris Guest, WAN Administrator Grady County Schools Ph: (229)377-8258 Fax: (229)378-1199 Email: cguest@grady.k12.ga.us
