how to start php in redhat 8?

[william6789]

Hi,
I installed redhat 8.0, and I can start apache and mysql. But I do not know how to start my php service? I wrote a test.php file and saved it in var/

http://www/html

, but when I type 127.0.0.1/test.php, it does not work.
Can somebody tell me how to configure and start it? any advice and comments will be highly appreciated.

First, look to see if php is installed. The library should be shown by &quot;httpd -l&quot; if it's compiled in, or there should be a file in <apache root>/libexec like &quot;libphp4.so&quot;.

If the library file is there, make sure that it's being loaded by Apache. Look for
&quot;LoadModule php_module libexec/libphp4.so&quot;
or something similar in your httpd.conf file.

Also, Apache needs to know which pages to handle with php, whether it's loaded at runtime or compiled in. This is also in my httpd.conf file:
&quot;AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4&quot;

If php isn't installed, you can get it an

http://www.php.net.

Current version is 4.3.2
