Greetings!
I am trying to install PHP 4.2.3 as a module running with Apache 1.3.26 on a
RH7.2 Linux box.
The problem I am having is this: I created a test page (phpinfo.php) with the
<? phpinfo(); ?> command and tried to load the page, I get a dialogue box
asking if I wish to save or open the file (this also occurs with any other
xxxx.php page I try to view in a browser). After a few hours of scouring this
list and reading/re-reading the installation instructions for both Apache and
PHP,(and pulling out fistfulls of my already disappearing hair), I renamed the
page as phpinfo.phtml... and it WORKED! Still no luck with .php pages however
:/
I tried reinstalling from the beginning, both Apache and PHP, in case I did
something wrong, several times. Same problem.
Frankly, I am stumped as to why .phtml works, yet .php refuses to. In
httpd.conf, I added the AddType line for both types. The LoadModule and
AddModule lines in httpd.conf for PHP appear to be correct as well.
I am hoping someone here has some insight on this issue.
Here is what I did last:
Installed Apache 1.3.26 as follows:
removed old install
>make clean
>./configure --enable-shared=max --enable-module=all --prefix=/webserver
--enable-module=so --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE --without-execstrip
--server-uid=webuser --server-gid=webuser
>make
>make install
-- tweak httpd.conf with servername and document root
>apachectl restart
RESULT: Apache appears to work fine
Installed PHP4.2.3 as follows:
>make distclean
> ./configure --with-mysql --with-imap-ssl --with-kerberos --enable-track-vars
--with-apxs=/webserver/bin/apxs
>make
>make install
> cp php.ini-dist to proper location and rename to php.ini
--tweak httpd.conf as follows:
(LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so is present)
(AddModule mod_php4.c is present)
Inserted a line AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php
(When this failed to solve the problem, I even tried changing it to
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml also tried adding a seperate line
for each extension. I even went so far as to try adding the extensions directly
into the mime.types file)
-- verified engine=on in php.ini file
-- verified include path in php.ini file
>apachectl restart
Page phpinfo.phtml shows up correctly. The page phpinfo.php asks to OPEN/SAVE
the file.
I would appreciate hearing any ideas on why this is occurring, I am sure I
overlooked something obvious or simple ;)
