Help with PHP4/Apache1.3.26/ActivePerl5.6

aravenwood

I used to have PHP4 setup correctly with Apache & Perl (see versions in subject line). Then my PC got a virus & I had to do a complete system recovery. I reinstalled everything and Apache/Perl works fine, but I can't get PHP to run. I think there is a problem with my configuration file, since there are no errors popping up in the apache error log and thus I think Apache just isn't processing the file. The php file is simple: <html><body><?php echo "text"; ?></body></html> and has an extension of .php. I added the following to my config file as per instruction:

ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"  
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

and PHP is installed in C:/PHP

Before installing PHP, I tried to set up my config file for SSI, but that wasn't working and I undid all the changes I made.

I am at a loss. Help!

I completely uninstalled Apache, reinstalled it, modified the http configuration file (as last message) for PHP only, tested that it worked ok with Perl, but still won't run the php code within a php script. I should clarify that it prints out the text inside the html body tags, but won't display the text I'm trying to print out from the PHP tags.

Ok in your http.conf have you done the following:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.shtml index.php

then further down:

Your Directives:
ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

Change this line to be separates like below
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php
I don't think you can double them up like that. The .phtml and .php

ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .inc
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
