So I got apache working, and then I installed php (./configure, make, make install), but when I save a php doc in htdocs and view it w/ mozilla I get nothing. Anyone know a site that explains it step by step? Or can anyone think what I'm doing wrong? Red Hat 9.

Thanks

 

have you installed php first? i might be confused but you might have to, get back to me and ill go see if i can find some info.

 

/pathto/httpd.conf

uncomment this line

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

restart apache

 

how's it going mrateb?

 

Also verify that you have the following in you httpd.conf:

LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c

In addition to what wipe0ut suggested:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Next, look for:
DirectoryIndex index.html

Change it to:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php default.php index.htm

 

lolz. php3 ownz me.

 

I think those are the ones needed for linux. I've done primarily windows setups, but it's pretty close in terms of the httpd.conf.

 

yeh thats it. he should be all set with what you told him.

 

I just thought of something. VijaySinghisKing said he gets nothing when trying to view the php file. Usually if php isn't configured correctly and you try to view a php file, it downloads the file...or displays the actual php code in the browser. Might be something else going on.

 

i had sooo much trouble with php on XP

 

It's because of their instructions, they are missing a step. I had a hell of a time too, but found out it was a simple placement of two files that were causing me problems.

Where you using php with apache or IIS on XP? I'm using apache 2 and it's been working fine for over a year.

 

gosh darn linux... i havent used php w/ apache in a long time, even after i did get it working i really wasnt sure how i did it

 

Thanks all!

I'll try it and see what happens!
