[Resolved] Help Needed!! Quick!

Ok.. my problem may sound simple to you..

I am installing php to our webserver server. We are running Redhat Linux 7.0 and Apache 1.3.27.

My problem.. I am at the part where I write ./configure --with-apache=../apache1.3.27

and it doesnt find httpd.h that's not strange because it's in the include directory.. so I change it..

./configure --with-apache=../apache1.3.27/include

but it still says:
configure: error: Invalid Apache directory - unable to find httpd.h under /usr/local/apache1.3.27/include

That's the path where I find httpd.h tho..
😕

have a look here

The_Stranger

ok.. thanks..

But why should I use
./configure --with-apxs
instead of
./configure --with-apache

stolzyboy

not sure, it's just the way i've always done it

The_Stranger

Well.. anyway.. I might as well try it.. The worst that can happen is that the computer explodes, right? 😉

stolzyboy

What could go wrong, were in a boat!

The_Stranger

BTW.. when it says AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
Should I use that or is there a newer version like php4 out? :B

stolzyboy

this is the line you would use for PHP4 or higher

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

PHP 4.3.3 is the newest stable version, i suggest you use that

I have 4.3.3 but to use php4 i should still write .php3? 😕

stolzyboy

that is just in case you have a script still named .php3, then that tells Apache to parse it with PHP, you could also put .god in that line, and if you would browse to a page you made that was called:

stolzyboy_is_a.god

that will be parsed as PHP also

:lol: ok thanks.. 😉

One last question... (I hope)

How do I make so when the user writes www.thedomain.com the page index.php is loaded?

stolzyboy

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.htm index.php index.php3
