PHP & Apache Prob

[Anon]

I installed SuseLinux6.4 and I decided to install the PHP4 with apache.
The files seem to be installed, and the httpd.conf has the lines with application/x... in it, but anyway, when I try to load a php-page, the browser wants to download the php-file - does anyone have an idea?

I have exactly the same problem with RedHatLinux 6.2.
When trying to get the appache status via "appachectl status", I get a "the requested URL /server-status was not found on this server".
Can someone help?

Did you try to re-install apache at all on top of another apache installation? Because if you did without removing the old apache, it won't work and that is the error you will most probably get.

I have h eard that it is not necessary to
recompile the apache server when you want
to use the PHP modules.
Is that correct?
Can I use PHP by just adding the required lines in the httpd config file?

I'm not totally sure but pretty sure that you do need to recompile Apache to recognize PHP.

Apache is supposed to have support for dynamically loaded modules in 1.3.12, but as far as I've heard it's not operating smoothly yet.

When you do compile Apache to use with php, I know I did the --with-php=/usr/local/php option, so I expect that it's necessary.

btw ...
For a GREAT guide on installing PHP, MySQL, Apache, and a bunch of other things in nice harmonious working order, got to devshed.com, and check the PHP section of the site for the article on it.

I think the very best resource for this configuration can be found at http://www.blazonry.com/scripting/install_apache.html.

This documentation will walk you through the installation of apache, php, and mysql all together. works great...
