Thanks. Your post built confidence so I waded in today. I got apache, php4 and postgresql limping along together, now working on mod_perl. I bear in mind what you said about php4, but it was already installed so I just used it for today's trial.
It was easy for the first three: apt-get install apache php4 php4-pgsql postgresql (maybe a few of these) Potato /etc/mime.types comes php-ready: application/x-httpd-php phtml pht php etc. /etc/apache/httpd.conf needed just this: LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so /etc//php4/apache/php.ini needed just this: extension=pgsql.so Gordon On Sat, Jul 08, 2000 at 11:29:08AM +0800, Corey Popelier wrote: > I have just completed an install based on MySQL, Apache and PHP3.
