Apche & PHP
 

I installed apache, installed php, but it asks me to save the .php file everytime i try to go to a .php extension on my website, and when i put, LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so , in to httpd.conf it gives me the error

Syntax error on line 233 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when i try to start/restart/stop apache, any ideas?

Looks like you didn't build the support in for php. Have a look at http://lamps.efactory.de/e-lamps-2-0.shtml for more detailed info. You can probably ignore the openssl and mod_ssl if you don't want to build that.

Here's a part of the configs I used for my php and apache builds.

*** php-4.3.2 ***
./configure \
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.27 \
--with-gettext \
--with-xml \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-track-vars

*** apache-1.3.27 ***
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--enable-module=so \
--sbindir=/usr/sbin \
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec

Note that the path to the apache source is relative to the directories I was building in. You may want to use an absolute directory location if you've got your junk spread around.

How would I do it with apache2? the same thing or what? Kinda new to this so sorry if im being a pest

nevermind, i just need to learn how to read websites

Hehheh. yeah. read first, ask questions later. :)
