php executable binary
 

In Mandrake 10.0 , i tried to locate php executable binary but i getting the different result

[root@uplinux home]# which php
which: no php in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin)

[root@uplinux home]# whereis php
php: /etc/php /etc/php.ini /usr/lib/php

the above result shows that there is no php executable binary file but it listing the php.ini file.
is it i went wrong to locate it?
I tried the same thing in Red Hat 9.0 it showed the path "/usr/bin/php"
Please help me to locate php executable binary file in Mandrake system

Normally PHP is used as a apache webserver module. The command line interface PHP binary is probably provided as a package which you need to install seperately (if at all available for mandrake).

In this case whats the change i have to do in apache conf(httpd.conf) file.?

what i have to add in the Script Alias of the httpd.conf file.?
ScriptAlias /php/ "?"

Any module i have to load in the LoadModule part of httpd.conf file.?

In order to execute php scripts in mandrake system what i have to do with my apache.

I have (Debian sarge, apache 1.3 w/ php4):
httpd.conf:
modules.conf:
This may be slightly different on mandrake. Search you apache conf-file(s) for "php", probably you only have to uncomment (remove #) on a few lines. Did you already just try it? Changes are it just works...

Also you could have found this info in the PHP and/or mandrake documentation...

I tried adding virtualhost to httpd2.conf file and edited the ScriptAlias, but it not executing the php scripts.

what should i change here in order to execute php scripts.

This is my httpd2.conf file for mandrake 10.0

###
### Global Configuration
###
# We now support multiple apache configurations on the same server. In
# common.conf, we put all directives that are common to all implementations
# (httpd, httpd-perl, etc.)
# For Apache2 we load all conf files in conf.d
Include /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf
Include conf/commonhttpd.conf


###
### IP Address/Port and Proxied configuration section
###
# The APACHEPROXIED setting can be set in /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd if you
# are using a proxy or accelerator, like the Apache-SGI or khttpd, so that
# the fast web server serves static content while Apache handles the
# cgi or php files

#BindAddress *
<IfDefine APACHEPROXIED>
Listen 8080
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine !APACHEPROXIED>
Listen 80
</IfDefine>

# Likewise, we can set apache as the server by default and send perl
# requests via ProxyPass to apache-mod_perl. It increases performance
# since the perl interpreter is only used for perl and the standard apache
# does all the html and image files, with a smaller footprint.
#
# If you install apache and apache-mod_perl, this is the default config.
# If you don't want two web servers to use perl, uninstall apache, and
# apache-mod_perl will not be proxied.

#If VLOG is defined in conf/vhosts/Vhost.conf, we use this entry
CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/advxsplitlogfile" vhost env=VLOG

### Virtual Hosts
###
