php in apache problem

hack124x768 · 02-16-2005, 05:31 PM

whenever i attempt to open a php page i just get a blank screen with no errors. im thuinking the link to the bin file could be wrong. im using slackware 8.1 in a p-166. (no it is NOT my main box, just a file server and mp3 player). thanks

Be sure the permissions of the file are set to 644.

thats just it, i could access it just fine with php disabled. and when i check the permissions it says they are exec-able.

Permissions should be
-rw-r--r--

I assume that you have setup the httpd config files to load the php modules and the directoryindex for php.

yah, but i just get a blank page, wouldent i get an access denied page if it was permissions?

I can't say for everyone but it doesn't for me.

A blank page can also be due to php programming errors. Check the logs to find out.
/var/log/httpd/error_log

i just upgraded from 4.3 to 5.0.3 and am having the same problem. pages that loaded in php4 render nothing in php5. i have no idea why. here's my config line:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-zlib --with-pear=/usr/share/pear
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --includedir=/usr/include --without-sqlite --disable-cgi
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/freetype2
--enable-gd-native-tt --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-gd

for some reason, no matter what i put in there, it has to have the zlib. dunno why
