please help!! im going crazy

timc37

ok, I have RH Linux box , with php and apache installed.

I know php is installed correctly because I can run phpinfo.php through the command line.

However, through a web browser, phpinfo.php just gives me a blank page.

I have all the necessary directives in httpd.conf, and when I restart apache gives no errors.

Nothing in the error logs to give me a clue..So its telling me everything is working, but its not obviously... just a blank page.....

Are you placing the files (phpfiles) in your htdocs folder. Let's say your file is called test.php or copy the below code and call it test.php put it into your htdocs folder and in the address bar of your browser just type http://localhost/test.php and see what you get.

<?php 
echo "This is just a test of my PHP install!";
?>

http://72.34.101.28/phpinfo.php

does not work........

http://72.34.101.28/phpinfo.php4

works..........I really need the .php to work...........

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

is what I have in httpd.conf

Houdini

Do not use the ip of 72.34.101.28 that is not the localhost. Type in http://localhost and the name of your file, I don't know what the other ip if you must you could type in http://127.0.0.1/ then your program because 127.0.0.1 is the localhost address.

I cant use localhost, im trying to retrieve the file from a remote server that im working on

.php4 extensions are working fine, I dont know why .php isnt, I have all the necessary directives in httpd.conf

Houdini

The AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 should make .php work and I don't see why not. Have you tried stoppoing then starting the apache, or has this done this since first install?

timc37

ive restarted the server many times.........its quite aggravating

Houdini

Perhaps someone used to the Linux will look at your post, I am not good at Linux just Windows! I can see why you are having problems with it 'cause it doesn't make sense to me expecially with it seeing the php4 extension.

thanks.......anyone else can help me out?

edit your httpd.conf to be like this

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

one line per extension and it should work..

at least thats how it is on my RHEL4 server
