Thanks for the renaming help.
I had a battle with php3 and lost. I'm going home.
I've got apache up, with php4 installed. Php4 scripts work fine. I've got this
program I'm trying to use that says it works with php4, yet the files are all named
*.php3. Does anyone know what I'm missing for apache setup? When I click on a .php3
file, netscape wants to download it. On a .php file it runs. I'd like to get it
working without uninstalling php4 and installing php3 if it's possible (debian
packages conflict).
I tried renaming every instance within every file of .php3 to .php, and renaming all
.php3 files to .php. However the program won't work! Go figure...
Thanks,
Cory
