Configuring the Apache2 config file to use PHP4

mindstormsguy · 05-29-2003, 12:11 PM

Well, the subject title sais most of it. I have apache2 installed successfully, and php4 installed (successfully, i think). I know i have to add a line or two to the apache config file to get it to use php. Could anyone tell me exactly what these lines are?

(i'm rinning mandrake 9.1, and i installed apache and php with the default options.) (i didn't intsall the versions that came with drake, i got the latest versions off the net)

Thanks
Brad

are you using apache 2.0.46 ? it's important that you use the latest version of it for security reasons.

regarding php4 check the INSTALL file in the source tree of php. it contains detailed instructions. be sure to use php 4.3.2 BTW!

yes, i'm using apache 2.0.46 and php 4.3.2. what you said kind of helped. i'm supposed to put a line in that sais "LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so". apache reports an error when i try to load it now, apparently "libexec/libphp4.so" doesn't exist. i tried searching for "libphp4.so" and it doesn't seem to be on my drive anywhere.

i decided i might have messed something up while installing php, i'm doing it again. i think omitting --with-apxs was a bad idea. i dont even know what the heck it does
