RH 9, Apache 2, PHP 4.3.3, Blank Page

ethought

Ok, I have read through all the posts here and cannot find a solution to my problem.

I installed apache using mod support. Apache is working just fine.

I installed PHP using

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

make
make install

I recieved no errors. I made sure httpd.conf has the following info

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

I also made sure mime-types has

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

And when I run a simple php page I get a blank page, and can see the php source when I view source.

I know this has been discussed several times on this site, but those solutions did not solve my problem.

Thanks for any help.

u may have miss the 'Load*' lines this parses all .php files ,
heres my windoze version;

LoadFile "C:/Apache2/bin/php4ts.dll"
LoadModule php4_module modules/php4apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .svg .svgz

ignore the windoze.dll extensions, ensure u have the load file and load module lines, goin on

What does the LoadFile line do?

I have seen this nowhere in any of the docs. I have no problems with this setup in Windows. I am using Linux.

Ok, a new twist to this situation. I was testing php in a virtual host when I got the blank page. I ran the page from the command line and I noticed that there was a directive that stated Virtual directory is Off. I didn't know if that was the same as using Virutal Host in apache, so I copied the php file to the DocumentRoot and ran it using the web browser. This time, the browser echod all my HTML to the screen. So now I am really confused.

part2:

amedment;

line 'LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so

I believe that is from apache 1.3

I am running apache 2 and there is no libexec folder. There is a modules folder and in this folder exists libphp4.so
