PHP on Mac OS X 10.4.7

[pablodelapena]

Hello there people!

I have just bought myself a brand spanking new iMac. It comes with Apache and PHP installed by default.

I have enabled PHP4 in Apache's httpd.conf file and it works well. If I load up a page with phpinfo(); it displays everything i need to know.

My problem is if I try and laod up any of my previous indeex pages it shows the following error:

Warning: Unknown(/Library/WebServer/Documents/index.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/Library/WebServer/Documents/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

I've never come across an error like this. does anyone have any idea what this emans and how Ic an prevent it?

I've heard that Mac formats line breaks in a different way from Windows - could this be something to do with it? Files I've created on the Mac seem to work fine.

I appreciate any help and thank you in advance.

PS: on a side, far less simportant note, ehenever I try and access a url with just a folder (i.e: not putting index.php at the end) it gives me a foridden error... if anyone could help me out with this I'd appreciate it also!

Congrats on the new mac!

You'll need to make sure that Apache knows to look for index.php files in addition to index.htm and index.html. Since it's most likely Apache is looking for the index.html when you just type the directory name, but can't find one, it's next action is to try displaying a list of files in that directory. If you have the Indexes directive turned off it'll give you a permission denied error. Look for the DirectoryIndex line in your httpd.conf file. You want it to read something like:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

Not sure what the other permission denied error is. Just make sure the files are world readable.
