I have apache up and running with php compiled in, but when I try to open a doc or
page that's supposed to execute some php
script, I get the php code. It's like the
php is not included in apache.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Have you enabled PHP in apache?

in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .php .php4 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

This works for a Redhat config. Bruce Garlock

The best way to install PHP is from the source code, as a DSO module. Get it from
Extract the files into the server.
# cd /usr/local/src
# tar xzvf /<download directory>/php-4.1.2.tar.gz

Then create a file with all the configuration options for the source compilation.
# cat > build.sh
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-debug=no --enable-safe-mode --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin --with-regex=system --with-xml

In most cases the default options will do, but -apxs is essential and --with-mysql will compile support for the MySQL DB into the module.

After that, it's just a case of
# ./build.sh
# make
# make install

Ensure that httpd.conf contains the following lines:

LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4

That should do it (don't forget to restart apache though).

A simple test example:

<!-- HelloWorld.php -->
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo &quot;Hello World -- PHP works!&quot;
?>
</body>
</html> ------------------------------------------------------------------

I made and verified the above suggestions and
got the same results on a redhat 7.2 and suse 7.3 distros. The only difference was that I
installed apache with all the php stuff when I installed the suse os.

Which apache are you using? I had problems with v2, so I've gone back to v1.3.24 for the moment.

Also, what are you seeing on your browser? ------------------------------------------------------------------

It mustbe something I've missed doing since I get the same results in a preinstalled(suse 7.3) and a build from scratch(red hat 7.2).
On both distros, Apache comes up ok, I just
can't execute any .php stuff.

What do the entires in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf look like? If apache starts up ok (without errors) and you have the correct entires in httpd.conf, then I would start looking at your logs for any indication of why this is not working. Look in /var/log/httpd/error_log Bruce Garlock
