Help installing PHP on Apache

Anon

Well I had to format my HDD and I don't remember how to install PHP on Apache.

I have Apache correctly installed and PHP4 installed too. I need to modify the httpd.conf file of Apache to let it see PHP.

I found a website with a good tutorial, but I don't remember it, can someone tell me a good tutorial or give me the lines to insert into that file?

Thanks,
Alberto

If apache has PHP compiled in as a module, properly, no additional conf file configuration is necessary. I would suggest looking into Apache and PHP doumentation.

As a tip.......

find the path to your httpd binary... run

/path/to/binary -l

if you see mod_php3.c
or mod_php4.c, listed you should be good to go.

Hi,
Does anybody know where i can get a precompiled version of PHP4 (or any other version) for apache_1.3.20-win32-no_src-r2. I a little lost with setting it up. I have the precompiled CGI version, but i don't think this runs with apache (is this correct). Would I be better trying to set PHP up with PWS or should i just for get Win32 and use linux. Would appreciate any advice.

P.S. Please be gentle with the jargon.

If you plan on using PHP as an apache module, you will need to compile on the system you plan to run it on. PHP is dependent on Apache being configured, apache is configured using libraries on your system. These libraries are going to differ from system to system. You can however use PHP as cgi. You will need to make sure that the cgi binary was compiled on a similar system. For example don\\'t use binary compiled on win32 system on RedHat box. Or don\\'t use binary compiled on BSDi on RedHat box. The libraries used at compile time are different.

Gracias amigo,
Have successfully installed PHP for APACHE on Win98. Now up and running and enjoying my first MySQL driven web pages. I am much too embarassed to explain what the reason was for the initial installation difficulty. Let's just say that file extensions are sometimes not what they seem when using windows (The icon for a PHP file is not the same as that for a text file)
For further hints see Julie Meloni's article entitled "PHP4 Installation Overview" page 10, TIP 1.
All thanks goes to Julie who cast the doubt, but unfortunately the doubt did not make any impression on my very unobservent approach, until I was at the end of my sixth Apache configuration check.
Thanks again
Ray
