Hi all! My server has Apache 2 installed on it, along with php for it, and pear...now its running on a Mandrake 10.1 distro....I have tried and tried to get everything working with php BUT for some stupid reason its not working...

The error is as follows:
Warning: Unknown(/var/www/html/info.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/var/www/html/info.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php/:/usr/share/pear/') in Unknown on line 0


I tried everything including not having the include path terminate with slashes..out of ideas...someone please help! I even rebuilt with wget for pear...HELP!

apache2 and php5 suck -- use apache1.3.27/33 and mod_php

That wasnt an option for me with Apache 1. The Mod_php in Mandrake 10.1 is for Apache 2 for one thing, and that response didnt exactly help

Does anyone ELSE have any suggestions on getting this going?

mod_php in Mandrake 10.1 is for apache 1.3.x
apache2-mod_php is for apache.

Before you start talking like you know make sure before you look very newbie.

I do know what the hell i'm talking about...whats listed on my 3 cd's does not include php for apache 1x else it would have been installed, and i havent had a lot of time to really delve into settting up mirrors and such for installs......regardless of this, I want to use Apache 2, and was looking for a solution to the current problem rather than ripping the server apart looking for other crap. So if someone can shed some light on this great.

Okie dokie --- keep looking like a fool then.

And your php issue is the fact that your using php4 code on a php5 mod and they arent compatible.

ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributio...-1mdk.i586.rpm

And if you keep wanting to be hard headed on this then dont bother asking for help.

I helped. I gave you the information you needed.

And if you that lazy to add a few lines into urpmi you have some real spoon feeding issues.

First off...when I have time this week to configure my mirrors manually I will..secondly, I am not using php 5 i AM using php 4. I ended removing the rpm, and installing php manually. It still has no effect, in fact I found a few problems with apache 1x when using it before from Mandrake. Surely there is a workaround anyhow...the problem is essentially a linking issue with php->pear...and quite frankly I'd like to resolve it. Not bicker around about one thing or another. IF you are too much of a Better than Thou type of person then please DONT respond again. I appreciate the suggestion of going back to Apache 1x, however I really do not wish to.

pfft stop wasting our time then.

Ok mods, lock this or delete it will you? I was trying to get an actual answer not a apache 2 sucks use this instead response. Quite frankly if you dont have anything to really add to the situation then stfu. I am new to linux and quite frankly you arent very inviting to talk to let alone seek infformation from. Remember, you were a newbie once too...

So without further ado, forget I asked, never mind, crawl back under your rock! Ta!

The correct answr is this:

chmod a+r to the file itself..its a security issue.
