PHP Problem-Cannot Locate Pages

Dave_P2

I have the latest version of Apache, and the latest version of PHP.
I have added the following to httd.conf for Apache:
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

And when I try to view the page, it shows up as:

Not Found
http://xxxxxxx/php/php.exe/index.php not found

What do I do?

No wonder..

Try

http://localhost/folder/file.php

Oh and change it around.
You dont need php.exe in it.

No, this is what I do:

I go to http://localhost/index.php
and it tells me

Not Found
http://localhost/php/php.exe/index.php not found

so I remove "Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"" but then it tells me PHP is not installed. I am using Win 98, with Apache 2 and PHP 4.3.0.

Have you installed PHP then. If not download the php.exe file. Then install it. Then add what you had in the httpd.conf file. Somewhere.

Hi Dave,

I remember having similar errors when I tried to install it this way as a cgi binary (adding these lines to the config file).

Then I saw in the install.txt that this is not recommended anyway.

Installing PHP for Apache as CGI binary

If you wish to install PHP as a CGI binary, read this first:
[url]http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-1996-11.html[/url]
and then if you are really sure, insert these lines to your conf file:

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

Note, we consider installing PHP like this suicidal.

and followed the instructions to install it as apache module. This actually worked out for me, so you might give it a try.

Hope this helps,
xblue
