I am currently running a default installation of Mandrake 10.0, which if my memory is correct is currently running httpd 2.0.48. I have upgraded / installed PHP5 (5.0.2) yet I have run into a couple of issues with apache's configuration files. Specifically I believe my modifications in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/70_mod_php.conf file are at the heart of my evils. At the moment when I attempt to view a php file the browser (IE6) prompts me to download the file….Which obviously is not the intended operation.
Can someone please point out my mistaken changes and lead me in the right direction.
Thank you
Shaun


The old file cat'd as:
quote:


[root@localhost conf.d]# cat old_70_mod_php
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP4>
<IfModule !mod_php4.c>
LoadModule php4_module extramodules/mod_php4.so
</IfModule>
</IfDefine>

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
PHPINIDir /etc
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>



The new file is:
quote:


[root@localhost conf.d]# cat 70_mod_php.conf
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP5>
<IfModule !mod_php5.c>
LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5 .phtml
</IfModule>
</IfDefine>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
PHPINIDir /usr/local/lib/
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

It could very well be that you don't have apache2_modphp5 (or some package like that, just run a search for apache2 or modphp). When you install that, the apache config files will be automatically updated.

I am running apache and I have just compiled php5 and can be located in libexec/libphp5.so.....

Did you install apache2-mod_php5? More than likely, your problem will be solved.

There was no need to compile php5. Mandrake has a package for it.
