configuring apache

Ok, where in the httpd.conf do i put this line
" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php"

Also i cant access webpages in my "public_html" in my home dir. it says forbidden when i try to access it. So what do i do to get it where i can access it, i have tried "modprobe 755 public_html" but that didnt work.

You can just throw that line in anywhere, I put mine directly above my AddHandler lines. Also, "modprobe??" I sure hope that was a typo.

Is your index page in that dir readable, and is userdir enabled in your conf?

Oh sry i ment chmod 755, and yes the page is readable and userdir is enabled.

green_dragon37 · 05-10-2003, 06:31 PM

Interesting, do the userdir-relevant lines look like this?

Code:

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    UserDir public_html
</IfModule>

And, do you have any specific directory lines pertaining to that directory?

The lines are exactly as you specified and i dont think i have any specific directory lines pertaning to that directory.

chmod a+x your home directory and see if that does it.

Did you make the changes to your httpd.conf file your self regarding the "UserDir" and if so, did you restart the httpd server?

apachectl configtest <~~~~ To test your changes before starting
apachectl restart <~~~~~~ To restart the server

What exactly are you typing to try and gain access to your User's home directory in public_html? Are you trying something like:

http://<domain.com>/~user1

d_lake · 05-10-2003, 07:10 PM

No, i havent modified the httpd.conf file and i ran "apachectl configtest" it said it was ok.
I restarted httpd and still didnt work.
I am trying to access it with "http://slacker/~david" .

What version af appache are you running, and does your conf have this line(or similar).
LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so

Ian

You could try to comment out all existing lines pertaining to UserDir, and just add the line:

Code:

 UserDir public_html

Here is a link that shows some of what you can do with this directive:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_userdir.html

Is the server named "slacker" or is that your computer name? Have you tried maybe http://127.0.0.1/~david

Or maybe with the actual IP address of your machine like: http://192.168.1.2/~david

Ok i cant get php to work either so can someone lead me through the install with every detail i need to know to get it to work. I want to install Apache+PHP+MYsql, but i have mysql installed and running good.

For PHP you need at least these lines in your httpd.conf:

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
LimitRequestBody 524288
</Files>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

take a look at this thread, that will help you.. it did help me

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=54320

you have to make a map in the /var/www/ directory named "~david"
now you can access it with http://localhost/~david
