can't view php file

saisoft

I installed apache 2, its running and working fine. I installed php 4. When i type something like http://localhost/index.html, it works fine, but when i type http://localhost/index.php, i get a blank page. I believe i have added all the necessary stuff, my php.exe directory is c:/php. in my httpd.conf file, i have added:
DirectoryIndex index.php
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "c:/php/php.exe"

be sure to edit your php.ini file:

doc_root="c:\web" (changed c:\web to whatever your webservers root directory is)
extension_dir="c:\php" (change c:\php to whatever your php folder is)

Be sure to copy your php4ts.dll file to c:\windows or c:\winnt

then in your apache.conf

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

be sure to restart your apache server after that

ok, the server is running, i made all the changes to the php.ini file and httpd.conf file. I made sure php4ts.dll is in the c:\winnt directory, but when i type http://localhost/information.php , it still shows a blank page.

information.php contains

Define "blank page." Is there any source code? If so, what is it?

saisoft

its just a plain white blank page, no source or nothing

Mordecai

Do other files show up fine (HTML files, images, etc.)?
If so, then it's a problem with how PHP is set up rather than your server, which narrows it down some. Try looking at others who have Apache2+PHP4's httpd.conf file, and model yours after theirs.

I don't use Apache2, so I can't really help you.

i have tried everything, i don't know what to do

Yes ... you don't need the HTML tags - phpinfo() is a function which creates everything necessary to display the PHP settings. Just do your file like this:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Please note the semi-colon after the function, without which phpinfo() WON'T work.
