Windows, Apache and PHP

kenhess

I setup the phpinfo.php page on my Windows NT 4 Server and when I hit that page with my browser, it wants to download or open the file....but not as an html page. I put in in htdocs and in cgi-bin but no luck on either.

It sounds like there is something wrong in your PHP settings in APACHE - go through the install file provided with php one more time... If that does not work - try to download the latest release of both php and apache!

If the either does not work - try to search the forum... there is lots of post regarding php setup!

i don't think you are going to

http://localhost/phpinfo.php

you are going File -> Open

and that won't work, you have to run it through the webserver

No, I am on a remote desktop typing in http://10.134.9.241/phpinfo.php and http://10.134.9.241/cgi-bin/phpinfo.php

and instead of displaying the info, I get a dialog that wants to open, save, etc.

It is as if Apache doesn't understand php so I am wondering how I tell it to use php files and if they are run as scripts or html like in unix.

I can run cgi scripts with the .cgi ending on them with no problems.

look for this line in your httpd.conf // around line 725

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3

if you don't have it, you need it otherwise apache doesn't know what to do with those files, this line tells apache to run .php or .php3 files thru the webserver

Have you tried restarting Apache. After installing the PHP dll for Apache, you MUST restart the server.
