Well I did edit the Httpd.conf and added this line aswell, but the problem still persists

LoadModule php4_module /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so

You test php by passing a simle php file to apache - try shutting down apache and restarting it - it could be it just missed the update...

Oh well, I just reinstalled PHP and voila it works now! Here's how i did it:

tar -xzvf php4.tar.gz

./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

make
make install
make clean

Edit Httpd.conf and add the following 2 lines:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
LoadModule php4_module /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so

cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini

apachectl restart

P.s: I guess it had to do with copying the php.ini after modifying the httpd.conf and not before.

Guess so - see its all good in the end - why do you need apache and php?

Well I'm doing a unix course at Uni, and I've taken this as a project. Hmmf! now that the installation is complete, time to develop some application using these 2 softwares

I have the problem with browser displaying as text... Getting apachetoolbox as I type, will give it a shot..

bladewalker · 11-26-2002, 06:44 AM

OK - now apachetoolbox is something I can help with

Remember to install the mod_php module under the php menu - or php wont be installed! and if you want mySQL you have to go into the mySQL menu and select your database - you also have to activate it...

Using the above I had to install from the toolbox twice because it had a problem checking if mySQL was installed - logged in with wrong user, after the second install it skipped over the complete mySQL install and finished the rest...

To check if mySQL is installed use the standard commands:

>cd to/mysql/dir
?./mysql -u root -p

This will log you in as root - also note there may not be a password so you will have to set one...

OK I need the following from you:

What connection are you on?
Do you have anything installed at the moment? - mySQL php apache - or have you tried to install these before?
What do you want to install?
How is it going to be used? - production development home etc?

Not sure if I have anything installed as of yet.
I have not tried to install those before
Apache & PHP
I will be using this for home use.

bladewalker · 11-26-2002, 07:25 AM

Ok download the complete file - I think its third one down?

The options you need are:

apache - installed by default!
php - select mod_php in the php menu

bladewalker · 11-26-2002, 07:26 AM

I will be on here for the next few hours if you have a problem...

Nefarious · 11-26-2002, 02:14 PM
