Hello Warwick, You're correct in assuming that Apache isn't set up right. It needs to be set to parse the .php files. Here's how to do this: Locate httpd.conf (/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf for my compile). And uncomment/add these lines: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
That tells apache to parse .php and .php3 files. The .phps files will show the syntax highlighted version of the code. Good luck, Tyler Longren Captain Jack Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.captainjack.com On Wed, 31 Oct 2001 17:22:47 +1300 J W W L (Warwick) Berg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all > > Sorry about what is probably a total dickhead about to enter your midst, > but I've never installed php or seen it much at all before but am trying > to > do it now. > > Using RH 7.1 and Apache 1.3.19 > > Want to install php4 and mysql combo and totally ignorant. > > Installed php rpm. > > Restarted apache in case that was needed. > > made hello.php and pointed browser at it. > > Got the text, rather than executing it. > > Can I surmise that apache isn't set up properly, and if so, could > someone > please point me towards relevant assistance.
