How do i configure RH-9, apache 2.0, php and mysql

rolling_titan · 10-16-2003, 02:28 AM

hello all,
Let me get straight to the point.
I have an application to be hosted on RH-9. I have installed php,httpd mysql all using rpms.
I am able to view the test page of apache server.
I could create datbses and add tables (so i guess apache and mysql are correctly installed)

I have created a test1.php file using the vi editor on a locl directory.

How do i execute it ?
are there any changes to be done in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file ?
also the
/etc/php.ini file ?

thanks

Welcome to LQ.

Just put the php file in your DocumentRoot (see the value of this directive in httpd.conf) directory. Then access it via your browser.

hey david_ross,

thanks a lot for ur suggestion. i copied the php files from my local directory to /var/www/html. i found this path on the test page of apache.

if i want to store files in local directories. what should i do ?
mention the path in the url ? or change the httpd.conf file ?

anyways thanks a lot.

If you want to change the location where your server looks for web files then change the DocumentRoot directive or add an aliased directory. Take a look at the docs on:
http://httpd.apache.org

If you are unsure then just reply again.
