I really need your help to end my days of frustration.
I installed Apache2, PHP and Mysql on my Linux box. After configuring my http.conf such as adding lines below:

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

#
# Cause the PHP interpreter handle files with a .php extension.
#
<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
LimitRequestBody 524288
</Files>

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

Unfortunately, apache2 can't seem to parse my php scripts.
I set up a local linux server for web development, and it sets to a default name localhost which is also used in httpd.conf file as the server.

My documentroot is pointed to "/var/www/html/htdocs/" and that's where I put all my files. I have been typing for example /var/www/html/htdocs/index.php to view the page I created. Is this correct or should I somehow include localhost in the address bar?

Your help will be greatly appreciated it.

Thank you,

If you type /var/www/html/docs/file.php You get the file directly, without any interferance from apache. So, youll have to use an url to get apache in between. So something like: http://localhost/docs/file.php would be more appropriate.

Thank you so much for your reply. By doing so, here is an error message I got:
##
Object no found!

The request URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.


Error 404

I have tried typing many times and I am sure that my spelling is correct and all files are located on folder.

http://localhost/svr/www/htdocs/index3.php

Displayed the message shown above.

Any idea ?

Thank you

The URL should be http://localhost/index3.php.

If your documentroot in httpd.conf is set as /var/www/html, then thats where the root begins. So, http://localhost/file points to /file in the document root, so in your filesystem to /var/www/html/file. Get it? (:

Thank you so much guys. It worked!!!
