Help installing PHP

[capitano]

I'm having trouble installing php4.1.2 on Linux 7.1 (RedHat). I'm following the instructions to the "T" but when I try running a test.php page, it just spits the output to the screen:

<?phpinfo();?>

In other words, It doesn't actually process the php code. What's up?

I'm doing this:
./configure --with-mysql
make
make install
cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini

finally, I made sure this line was in httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

And restarted web server:
'service httpd restart'

But still, nothing......
It still doesn't process PHP pages.

HELP!!!!

Hi,

You also need in httpd.conf :

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

AddModule mod_php4.c

(Assuming the libphp4.so module is in the normal redhat modules subdirectory - redhat normally place these modules in /usr/lib/apache and symbolically link to there from /etc/httpd/modules)


Hope this helps

Also, you may want to add the --with-apxs switch to the PHP configure:

./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs Bruce Garlock

If your using an RPM ditribution like Red Hat...why not get the RPMS?

Thank you. I have made sure those lines were in httpd.conf. They are. However, it doesn't look like libphp4.so was installed onto my system anywhere during the php4.1.2 installation. I can't find it after updatedb and locate.

Also, I cannot find that apxs script in my filesystem. Which is why i didn't use the --with-apxs flag. Where can I get this apxs thing?

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Oddly enough, on redhat its in the apache-devel rpm for some unknown reason - so you need to install that for apsx (/usr/sbin/apsx).
