grep php /etc/apache/httpd.conf (or wherever you keep your httpd.conf)

Post the output here. Best guess is that you just need to add a couple of lines.

Open up your text editor. Type the following:

PHP Code:



<?php 
phpinfo(); 
?>

Then save it in /var/www/html/ as phpinfo.php

Then open up your browser and go to http://localhost/phpinfo.php

Ok i tried that and when i went to it it just showed what i typed the:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
my httpd.conf file is under /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
it wont let me paste it in here for some reason i dont know why but i put it in my server folder so just go to http://mattbennett.dyndns.org/httpd.conf thanks for your time

You need to add this line:

Code:

LoadModule php4_module        libexec/libphp4.so

to load the php module, and this one:

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

So apache knows that files with a .php extension should be sent through the php interpreter.

Ok i added the loadmodule line into where the rest of the modules are but where do i add the addtype line???

Thank You

Maybe into the addmodule line????

bulliver · 04-20-2003, 01:18 PM

Well, your httpd.conf is a little strange, usually there is an addtype section ie:

Code:

# AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to
# make certain files to be certain types.
#
AddType application/x-tar .tgz
AddType image/x-icon .ico

but it is not in any other directive so you can most likely just add it to the bottom of the file.

Don't put it in the addmodule section.

Ok i just added it like this #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php?? tell me if its fine where i put it??? i wasnt too sure where u meant by the bottom of it http://mattbennett.dyndns.org/httpd.conf

Thank-you

I'm sorry, I gave you bunk advice, it needs to be inside the <IfModule mod_mime.c> directive...sorry

matt3333 · 04-20-2003, 03:55 PM

Ohh ok its ok but where is this ifmodule??? i cant seem to find it but its probably right in front of me???????

matt3333 · 04-20-2003, 04:13 PM

Hmmm ok i didnt add the last one the addtype in the ifmodule i dunno where it is so maybe thats y this isent working but........ /libexec isent a dir on my computer and that libphp4.so isent a module????? i was looking around in there and it doesnt seem to have it????
