Hi Todd,
I've been struggling with the PHP module trying to get it to work. I've
followed your instructions, but the Apache module doesn't seem to recognize
PHP. I ran the test.php ("<? phpinfo() ; ?>) and I just see the text as it is
written here.
In the docs, they mention that I should ad "AddType application/x-http-php
.php" in the http.conf. I'm not exactly sure where I should add this: I've
placed it after the "include" statement in the "Global Configuration".
Problem is: in the Mime.types it doesn't show up. I can't get the "AddType"
to work, so of course, PHP is non-functional in any test.
I've d/l the newest stable version of PHP, followed all the instructions
(with/without, in various combinations, the following: Mysql, Postgresql,
Apache. PHP) I've tried the bare-bones approach: only Apache and PHP -
installing PHP 1st, then Apache first from LM8.0. Nothing seems to work. I
do get the Apache splash screen. I've loaded Webmin, and then removed it with
little effect. (I've followed PHP instructions --with-mysql=/path. ...)
This is becoming an obsession -- almost like my attempts with HylaFax!
If you have any ideas on how to get PHP up-and-running, I'd greatly
appreciate your assistance. I can't develop my new web-site until I get PHP
functional.
Perhaps you could send me a copy of your (working) httpd.conf and php.ini
files so I could maybe see what I've messed up. (Btw, in my last LM8.0
install of PHP, I couldn't find php.ini anywhere.
Sorry to be so long-winded, but this is . . . sigh!
Tia,
Andre
