PHP and httpd.conf

adcripps · 05-17-2002, 02:04 PM

Having problems installing php with apache.

I've found the couple of lines on the net which go like this:

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

But when I add them to httpd.conf and restart apache, I get the following error (in Bash)

Syntax error on line 24 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'AddType', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

What is the correct config part in httpd.conf?

Did you stick these lines inside some other directive? For example:

Code:

<Directory /whatever/>
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps 
</Directory>

Hmmmm, no I didn't and I can see why that would cause the error I was getting. What do you suggest goes in the <directory /whatever/> bit - is that the path to PHP?

Thanks

Do you have mod_mime loaded into apache? Look for the appropriate LoadModule and AddModule line in your httpd.conf file. You can see what modules are statically built into apache by typing httpd -l.

This is what's in the file for mime_module.

LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so

From the modules directory I am guessing you are using apache 2.x? If so try:

Quote:

<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>

Nope, I'm using 1.3.23

Thanks

hmm...ok. Do you have a AddModule mod_mime.c line to go along with that LoadModule?

Just searched through it now and that string isn't found.
