[PHP] Total Newbie in over head
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. Got really confused with the manual, etc. Not that bright I suppose ;-) Thanks in advance Warwick -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Warwick, Did you look at the install notes that come with PHP? It explains there how you have to configure Apache to recognize php files and give them to the php interpreter...checkout the README or INSTALL files that come with PHP... jack -Original Message- From: J W W L (Warwick) Berg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 11:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Total Newbie in over head 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.

Re: [PHP] Total Newbie in over head
I am not sure if this helps , but I followed the instructions on the following URL for setting up PHP and SQL. It used an older version of Apache (Apache 1.3.12) and I think the author used something like RedHat 6. Well, anyways, I followed it and it was okay.
