Install Problems: MySQL 3.23 / PHP 4.3.0 / Apache 2.0.44 / RedHat 7.3 ( 2.4.2-2)

I built apache, PHP and MySQL on Linux from sources with no apparent errors. However, PHP pages are not being interpretted. Any suggestions?

Tim-

By the looks of your server string, apache is loading the module ok.

Did you add:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
to your httpd.conf?

Tim_Keith

The AddType for php is in the httpd.conf

Do you see any errors in your error_log when you try to access a .php page?

Check your php.ini for the line:
; Enable the PHP scripting language engine under Apache.
engine = On
This is set by default, but you never know.

Also, make sure you have libphp4.so in your apache/modules directory.

As a last resort, just try to compile PHP using the least amount of options and see if that works. ie ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

I also have this exact same problem with RedHat 8.0. Did you have to remove the Apache RPMs before you installed the 2.0.44 source. My only other issue is that pages won't display at all. The httpd server is running but won't respond to requests.

Another thing to check: that permissions are correct for the folder you are attempting to pull pages from. Hence user:nobody, etc..

Good luck.

I am having this problem as well after the 4.3.1 upgrade... my pages are not being processed... just tried to download them... 🙁

I must confess my utter impatience at times. After realizing the pages weren't working, I nuked the box and tried Mandrake 9. To my hope, the fresh change would magicly solve my problems.. Nope..

Then I realized: http:\localhost doesn't work when you're looking for the local webserver. I fixed my idiotic mistake and wala! The index page came up.

So to you poor impatient souls like me that just want to create and do work, doublecheck all of your methods. It's always something very logical, and usually a pretty simple error on our part.

I attempted to install an RPM for Apache 2 and PHP 4. The RPM failed to install because of shared library conflicts. I reinstalled the current version of the libraries. Then, I rebuilt PHP from source ( ./configure ... ; make ).

PHP 4.3.0 seems to work fine now with Apache 2.0.44. My advice is to first try to install an RPM.

I didn't see it mentioned... But did you add for the DirectoryIndex index.php or whatever? By default it only says index.html in your conf file. Add that, restart apache and see if it fires up.

Mine looks like this:

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
