Please, Please HELP!!!!

jowatkins

Please can somebody help me. I've been trying to get php and apache installed on my computer at home for a week now and I'm pulling my hair out.

Ive gotten to the point where I can't think of anything else, as best I can see my config.ini files are right. If I load http://localhost to a html file, everything is fine. I thought I had the whole thing licked when I managed to get the phpinfo.php file to work.

I then put the files I wanted to work on into the document root and now it just won't load anything with a .php extension, except for the original phpinfo.php, which still works fine.

I'm at my wits end and really need to get some work done. Can someone please help me? I'm running Apache 1.3.26 on Windows ME with PHP4.2.3.

Thanks in advance guys!!

Hi,

Hoping you haven't pulled all your hair out ... 🙂

You're saying the phpinfo.php file works but other files with .php extensions wouldn't parse php?

What's the code in your phpinfo.php file? is it just the phpinfo function? Trying writing another small function in there and see if that works. Try putting the phpinfo function in one of the other php files and see if that works?

One thing that comes to mind is short tags being switched off and you using them in your php files as opposed to your phpinfo.php file which may have <?php

Let us know how it goes.

Ok, there hair's still present, just.

Short tags are, and were enabled in the php.ini file.

I tried running this short function in the phpinfo.php file

$name = array ("joanne", "watkins");
$fullname = join(" ", $name);

echo "$fullname";

and I got a HTTP 500 error, which is what I'm getting with all the other files.

The thing is though, phpinfo(); works fine????

Any other ideas?

hmm, over odd indeed. 500 is internal server error. Quite honestly I am lost after having re-read your original post, especially since you're doing this on windows and I am absolutely clueless when it comes to that.

I apologize I can't help, though I have a feeling your fix is quite simple. Hopefully a windows guru will pick up on this post and help.

Thanks anyway, any windows gurus out there?

Do you have:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3

in your httpd.conf file?

Do you have the loadmodule and addmodule commands in your httpd.conf?

jowatkins

Hi,

Yes, apart from php3, which I'm not running anyway, I've added and loaded the modules for php4. Surely phpinfo() wouldn't work without them?

Hi guys,

I've read just about all the posts here on installation now and I'm not getting anywhere. I've attache my conf file here, would someone mind having a look through it to see if I've missed something. The file paths are correct so I don't understand where the error is comming from.

Thanks in advance, Jo

your load module command is in the wrong place...
and you have no addmodule command...

I have re uploaded yours...try this one.

jowatkins

Hi,

First off, Thanks tha_mink. Much appreciated. However, when I ran your version of he .conf file, I got the following error:

Cannot add module via 'mod_php4.c': Not in list of loaded modules.

When I commented this out, I went back to the original state of not being able to open the files (Can't find file error), though I can get phpinfo() to work.

Does anyone know of problems php4.2.3 or apache might have with include files on Windows ME? Again, the include paths in the php.ini file are correct, but nothing is working as it should.

Thanks again, Jo
