Have you configured Apache to use PHP?

Should have something like this in your apache config:

Quote:

# Load the module first
<IfModule !mod_php5.c>
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
</IfModule>

# Set it to handle the files
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

AddDirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml

Sorry should have warned you that my configuration might not work for you. Which distro are you using? Did you compile PHP or install from your distro's package management system?

taher84 · 03-02-2007, 03:13 PM

i am using fc5 as my distro
no i hadnt downloaded it from the package management system but from the source

what di i do now

Did you compile Apache or are you using the version that came with FC5? If you're using the FC5 version you could install php by doing:

Quote:

yum install php

That should place a config file for PHP in your /etc/httpd/conf.d directory. What were the steps you used to compile PHP?

taher84 · 03-02-2007, 03:27 PM

simply
./configure
make
make install

taher84 · 03-02-2007, 03:31 PM

and yes i installed the apache version that came with fc5
