PHP on Apache

depam · 05-25-2006, 12:24 AM

I've installed Apache and I can't seem to make my webERP work on it. I've included it in alias (/weberp). But when I tried to go to http://localhost/weberp, it prompts me to download a phtml file instead of displaying the login screen of weberp. Am I missing something here? I mean how can I resolve this?

You probably need to add index.phtml (or the name of the file the browser wants to download) at the end of the DirectoryIndex config line in httpd.conf

e.g., DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.phtml -- you need to restart apache.

A quick easy check would be to make a .htaccess file in the weberp directory and put this line in: DirectoryIndex index.phtml -- no restart necessary. Try it, see what happens.

You may need to configure Apache to recognize the .phtml extension as a php file, also.

Did you install PHP?

SweetLou: I've installed PHP4. What other packages do I need to install to make it work?

VLS: I already did but the same problem occured. Any other ideas?

Just wanted to make sure, you only said you installed apache. Then you probably need to tell apache to handle .phtml files as PHP files. looke at http://www.roundridge.com/hs/apache-php-homesite05.php
You didn't mention which apache you installed, so the x.conf file might have a different name.

I installed the old Apache 1.1.3 i guess. I didn't installed the Apache2 because I can't seem to make the document root work.

Did changing the configuration file help?

Nope..Nothing happenned. I think I need to install the php4 modules but I don't know what package to install from the synaptics.

Do any php files work?
You can make a simple .php file:
<?
phpinfo();
?>
then run that to see if it is working and the configurations. I have never used webERP, but I saved above as info.phtml and it worked fine.

I am running apache2 with PHP4. The things I have installed are:
php4
libapche2-mod-php4
php4-common
php4-gd
php4-imagick
php4-mcal
php4-mysql
php4-odbc
