I'm trying to install php4 on Mandrake 8.0 with apache 1.3.27 (and MySQL 3.23.51).
Apache works okay, although with 127.0.0.1 or localhost I get a welcome page for Apache Advanced ExtraNet or something - not what I have with Win 2K, but presumably correct.
The configure, make and make install bits of the php installation go okay. I edit the httpd.conf file with the appropriate AddType, the LoadModule php4_module bit is present, and AddModule mod_php4.c doesn't need to be added because I don't have a ClearModuleList line (so it says in the installation instructions). I have checked and rechecked my AddType line, and it is correct. I have put php.ini in /usr/local/lib/.
I have made a test php file and put it in the htdocs directory, as I did with Windows. Is that the correct place? The installation instructions just say 'in your web tree somewhere', which is really helpful. I have restarted apache, pointed to localhost, which is okay, and then tried to open my test file - and the file can't be found.
So what's going on? Any more of this and I'll give up on the idea of working with Linux, and stick to Windows...!
