I've read some of the docs, looked through the config files, and puzzled
over this for 2 whole days.....I can't get Apache to treat php files as
anything other than plain text. I know I'm missing something obvious, but I
don't know what. I wonder if someone who has php working with apache would
be willing to send me thier config files (httpd.conf, commonhttpd.conf, ?)
or at least the relevant parts, so I could compare them with my own.
Hal Wigoda kindly responded to my first request as follows:
"You have to add the php_modiule to apache
and modify the apache httpd.conf file to process php files."
I have done this ( I think) but still no luck. There is a test in the
httpd.conf file that says:
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP4>
LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so
</IfDefine>
HAVE_PHP4 is obviously some kind of test, but what is it testing? According
to the Apache docs, HAVE_PHP4 would have to return a true value in order
for the module to load. Apparently it is not returning "true", even though
I have installed PHP4 from the Mandrake RPM. Does support for this module
have to be defined when Apache is compiled, even though it is a DSO? (or is
it a DSO?)
Anyway, I am thoroughly confused, and any help would be appreciated :-)
