Re: Getting PHP to work with Apache server

Hi! Please ask installation questions at php-install@lists.php.net or php-general@lists.php.net. I hope you can understand that the php.net webmasters are not handling user problems. Have a good luck with setting up PHP, Goba

Hello Webmaster, I have spent some time looking at all the faqs and cannot find an answer. I do so hope that you can help. I had Apache running Perl scripts successfully. I now want to use it to run PHP. I have followed all the instructions on adding/changing httpd.conf and php.ini. When I open my browser and open the file with <? phpinfo(); ?> (called hello.php), it just shows the code, and not the screen I was expecting. I also did a time/date test file, with the same result. For your information, in httpd.conf I have added: DocumentRoot "C:/phpweb" <Directory "C:/phpweb"> ScriptAlias /php4/ "c:/php4win/" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 Action application/x-httpd-php "/php4/php.exe" In php.ini (now in C:\windows) I have: doc_root = "c:\phpweb" ; user_dir = "c:\php4win" ; extension_dir = "c:\php4win" ; I made these changes to the ini-dist file rather that the recommended one if that makes a difference. All my Perl scripts still run, so Apache is still working for them. I would be so grateful for any help you can offer. Many thanks. Andrew Winton
