New Apache & pHp Install

Beejer

Hello,

I just installed Apache 1.3.29 & pHp 4.3.4. I followed the instructions, but I get the error message "[warn] (2)No such file or directory: exec() may not be safe." when Apache starts and my pHp code won't execute. Does anyone know if this a pHp problem?

Thanks

just guessing, but maybe you've a path in your httpd.conf or php.ini which doesn't exist.
Hence, check all entries for their existence.

I got rid of the Apache error message by going back to v.1.3.26 (27 thru 29 have some kind of bug, at least on Win 9x).

However, I still can't get my pHp script to run. Any ideas?

Thanks.

2x chk whether that apache version works with that php version.
might have 2 upgrade the apache to apache 2.0.46/7.

i downld 'ed the bundle from modperl , both apache 1.x and apache 2.0.4x with modperl 1.x an 1.99 , mad truck load of modules built in , to boot. chk modperl.com for the link its 35mb an un-compress 'es to 100 + mb.

heres how i config'd php 4.3.2 shld be da same 4 yr version, 2.

from my apache2/conf/httpd.conf file:

for php

A test page is found at http://legsman/hello.php

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

try those steps, and keep me inform'd if it works or not
[end of snippet]

1: copy all of the /php/extensions sub-dir to /windows

2: copy php.ini-recommended file ( in the /php sub-dir) to windows

3: placing both apache/bin and php/bin, php/dlls to path does help if running other progs: 'mysql on windows' etc

place libmnysql.dll [variable] in the $ENV via MyComputer/Properites/Advance/Env-SomName
in variable dialog invent libmysql.dll = path to mysql.lib.opt name-of.dll lib.

4: try running from cmd-prompt 'dos box'
C:>apache - k httpd.conf [auto chks yr apache2/conf/httpd.conf file for errors
if errors they will show up in yr dos box, press ESC button to pause screen dump.

else proceed to run a test page

<? phpinfo();?>
named something.php

shows all mod running in web server.:p

well, Win9x is maybe not the optimum platform for a webserver 😉

what happens? does it show just the php source? give some details please.
check the apache and php log and error files

Thanks for the responses.

I only get the following error when I run "apache -k httpd.conf" from the command line:

[Thu Nov 13 21:26:10 2003] [error] Cannot remove module mod_php4.c: not found in module list

When I name my pHp file with .php3, .php4 or .phtml extension, the embedded pHp code is ignored. When named with .php extension, the Windows "File Download" dialog box appears when the browser is directed to the file.

Per the instructions, I added the following to the httpd.conf file:
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Here's everything you should add.
Add the filetypes in the AddType as needed

ScriptAlias /php/ "C:\php\"
Action application/x-httpd-php "C:\php\php.exe"
LoadModule php4_module C:\php\sapi\php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

I got it working. I moved the additions in the httpd.conf file from the top to the bottom. Seems I introduced them too soon.

Thanks.
