i want my apache-server to handle php-files. but instead of executing them it offers them for download

i use apache 2 (if that does matter , i have no idea about anything

) and i added
'AddType application/x-httpd-php .php'
to the httpd.conf file (whatever that means, its written in some documentation-file that came with php)
is there anything else i have to do?

edit: oh and pache runs on a linux-system, if that matters, besides the fact that bi have no idea about linux

You're probably missing these two lines

Code:

Action application/x-httpd-php /php4/php.exe
ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/whatever/php4/"

from your httpd.conf file.

Obviously the "C:/whatever/php4/" part in the last line needs to be replaced with the directory you have PHP4 installed in.

i just edited it. its a linux system, so there probably is no exe-file, what do i have to write in that case?

Leshy · 13 May 2003, 19:43

Blergh, you edited your post after I replied, thought you were running on a Windows system.

Check that link then instead, as I have no clue about Linux either

i must have made some mistake while installing apache or php

i did everything as written in your link (which is the same as written in the INSTALL-file that came with php)

but thanks anyway

You need something like "LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so" too. apxs should add this (making PHP calls apxs), but if you create new httpd.conf then it won't be added.

Make sure the following lines are in your httpd.conf file. They should be in there but commented out (by default), remove the # and it should work.

LoadModule php4_module
AddModule mod_php4.c

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

oh and now it tells me the page is not found (even though the files is where it should be, well thats at least something)

i would ask for someone of you to have a look via ssh, if i only would know what port that damn thing is using.
lol, i should have stayed with windows

I was under the impression an old httpd.conf would still work, I take it that's not the case?

My linux machine is halfway through a Ssuse 8.2 install and I resinstalled XP yesterday so don't have an SSH client to hand. Plus as has been pointed out the httpd.conf for apache 2 is different to 1.3.

However...

Quote:

Verify (and add if missing) these directives in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
# Make sure there's only **1** line with this directive:
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

# Add index.php to your DirectoryIndex line:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

AddType application/x-httpd-php php

# PHP Syntax Coloring (recommended):
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps

at the first try i made some mistake with the installation-directory, thats why it didnt work.
after that i uninstalled (i.e. deleted) everything and tryed again.
in this 2nd try i forgot to copy the php.ini
im too stupid for linux

((
now it works
thanks everyone
(and gayle if you ever need an ssh-client for windows try for 'putty'

)

Correct.

I think you need to expand on this, your BOFHish answers are unwelcome :-P

Code:

<IfDefine PHP>
  <IfModule !mod_php4.c>
    LoadModule php4_module    extramodules/libphp4.so
  </IfModule>
</IfDefine>

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

Obviously you will need to change the path to your mod_php shared object.

configure it with;

./configure --enable-so
