Greetings....

I just installed the fedora core 6 on my AMD duron 850 with 256 mb ram 40 GB HDD.I selected the packages webserver and mysql and so on as per my requirments.Ive configure both httpd conf file and mysql aswell,If im not wrong httpd is just a deamon service for http and apche is the webserver right.now I want to know what version of httpd does fedora core 6 use and what version of php version is installed.what version of apache should i install in my fedora core 6 is it fine to use apache 2.

Well im trying to installing Joomla on my fedora so i extracted all the files in /var/www/html/ and on my brower i put http://localhost/joomla/index.php it does not run installation of joomla instead of installation it show me the php code.I do not know whats wrong is it because of apache which is not installed or some php package require??Im looking forward for your kind response.

ok, firtly, httpd IS apache. they are the same thing.... well, httpd is (normally) the core executable name for the Apache webserver project. there is no two halves or anything, a webserver *IS* a daemon.

anyway, looks like php is not installed. run "rpm -qa | grep php" and see what's in there. should be as simple as running "yum install php" and letting it do the rest. this will drop any necessary php config files for apache into /etc/httpd/conf.d/ so no extra file editing is required, just a restart or a hup of the httpd process and php should be working.
