Need Help in Apache & PHP setup

ptyagi

Hi,

I have installed PHP4 and apache 1.3.27 along with Mysql 3.23 for windows 98. I have checked that Mysql is working fine. Now I am trying set PHP & Apache configuration. I have done everything whetever PHP manual says but it is not working. I have copied all my PHP source in the document folder (htdocs) of Apache web server. Modifed the Apache's conf file for PHP set up but nothing is working. When I try to open any php in web browser it opens the source code nothing else. I have checked Apache and it seems that Apache is running. Now I seek help in PHP & Apache configuration thing. I will appreciate any help in this regard.
It will be great if someone can send me or show me working Apache's conf file.
Please help.

Thanks.

Add this rows at the end of your httpd.conf:

CGI Binary mode:

CGI Binary Settings

ScriptAlias /masquerade_dir/ "c:/php or folder where is php.exe file/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/masquerade_dir/php.exe"

The first row needs to masquerade the real folder where you put php.exe. In a CGI exploit the hacker check for folder named masquerade_dir not for folder php (security needed)

The secon and third row allow to associate .php extension of your PHP scripts for running with php.exe.

Check, before restarting Apache Web Server that you have copied the file php4ts.dll and set your php.ini file in C:\Windows\System32 directory.

Create a file named test.php like the following:

<?php
phpinfo()

and run on browser. If all is right you can get information about your PHP, Apache and Windows Environment variables.

I suggest you to read the chapter:

Installing PHP on Windows with Apache 1.3.x

if you have further problems.
