Make sure that your apache configuration is set up to process PHP files with the extension that you're actually using. (I always use .php3, and that appears to work out-of-the-box when I've tried this.) /etc/apache/httpd.conf contains these: LoadModule php3_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp3.so AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 I had to uncomment the first one, and my script is now called /home/steve/hello.php3 Go into /etc/php3/apache/php3.ini and look to make sure that your (mysql) module is loaded properly (it is never configured to load for me by default); alternatively, manually call the module for insertion from inside your PHP scripts. This is slower if you're using the database on every page. Would you mail me your php3.ini, please? That's all I've ever done. Good luck. Still doesn't work - netscape still wants to download the file :-(

PHP - A new approach
After a painful experience trying to get PHP4 working, I'm trying a new approach. I've removed MySQL, PHP4 and Apache completely. Would someone who has successfully installed PHP3 and Apache to a point where they can display a simple .php3 page on Debian 2.2 (potato) system please be kind enough to explain (as if to a child :O)), what steps they took, what extra bits need to be done. Many TIA, Steve.

Here's what I did: 1. Install mysql and mysql-dev. Server and client. 2. Get php source. 3. Get apache source 4. Build apache with DSO support (in the README) 5. Go to php tree and follow instructions on how to build php with mod_php for apache. Basically, compile it from source, with some extra instructions.

I installed php3 and apache, and then edited /etc/apache/httpd.conf to include the php module, and it worked.

That's what I'm after - has anyone done this? apt-get install apache php3 php3-mysql Ok, I used php3-pgsql, but assuming the package builders did the same right things with mysql, the difference ought to be trivial. The step above will also deal with dependencies (I know I'm missing something).
