I have an older version of php 4.2.2-8.0.7....

I see in my httpd.conf file that I have a few references to php (not sure what I'm looking for!) but here is a line that interests me:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

It says that it allows you to override the MIME confuration, could that be bad? (now I real newbie as I know nadda about MIME!)

I can certainly comment out the line and restart apache if needs be?

Thanks. Hube

Mmmkayy... Keep that line.

The squirrelmail documentation has references for specific include files and directives for your apache (hhtpd.conf). Better check through those and see if all is well there first.

Kept the line...

I looked on the squirrelmail website and don't find that much. It mentions DirectoryIndex needing to contain index.php (which it does), I know php is working as I can see the web page but I don't really know what other things need to be set. It talks about <directory> but I guess that's just a virtual host to the directory where squirrelmail is located...

My install came from an RPM so I don't know where to find the install docs. I tried man -k squirrel and that turned up nothing...

I will keep digging for docs, at the moment I'm not sure if my httpd.conf is OK or not?...

Any expert out there have any ideas? I found some notes on the squirrelmail forums but there doesn't seem to be a conclusive fix, only really an acknowledgement that the problem exists!

All help gratefully received

Just wanted to close the loop on this sucker. I found some help in the php forums. If you have a php.conf file comment out the following lines:

#<Files *.php>
# SetOutputFilter PHP
# SetInputFilter PHP
# LimitRequestBody 524288
#</Files>

Also, in the httpd.conf file add the line:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm .inc
(this should be pretty much default anyway!)

I found this in:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19263

I'd hate for anybody to have to go to the hell hole that I've just been to... on the postive side I have fresh installs from src of php and apache!!!

Wow... I wonder if that was just a Red Hat RPM oddity...

I'm not really sure. I don't recall where I got my php.conf from, I just hope that anybody who stumbles across this problem will find this post and get a quick fix, this took forever to figure out as I was looking at squirrelmail and not php. Still I'm a little wiser now!

I have another machine running RH, this machine has not been touched, real basic install... I only see the following entry for php in httpd.conf:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml

and in the php.conf file I see:

<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
LimitRequestBody 524288
</Files>

I think that 'AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm .inc' on my broken machine and the lines above (<Files**** through </Files>) are in conflict.

I hope this helps somebody!

Thanks this help me too!
