Hi,

I have some problems with my new Debian sarge.

First problem with some keyboard characters. Normally my keyboard does not prin out Alt Gr combination characters like | , @ , etc. But i just run the "xf86cfg" program and do nothing and close the program, then I can print these characters. Any idea?

Second problem with my php. I installed apache+mysql+php4 and just wanted to try a simple php file with mozilla and firefox. But mozilla and firefox can not run php files and ask me to save them. Any solution? By the way, where is the executable php file. locate just returns some library and config files.

Thanks

Can't help you with the keyboard thing..

Php scripts are executed server side, not by the browser.

If your browser is offering to save the php file the the problem is with the httpd server, not with the browser. You need to tell your
webserver how to handle php files - for example, in my setup (Apache2) I have the following lines in httpd2.conf:

# PHP Configuration for Apache

#
# Load the apache module
#
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

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

There are many examples and tutorials on the net - googling for "php apache2 confguration" or similar will turn up some useful info

What keyboard/language do you use?

I use a Logitech iTouch spanish one, and it works without any problems.

When i do a 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, in the part where it asks you for keyboard mapping, where everybody writes: 'pc 104' or whatever, i write:

Logitech iTouch

and in the next screen for language:

es

at work:
