Help with PHP4.0

Anon

Hi,

I am new to PHP. I am trying to use PHP4.0 and MySQL with Apache as my web server on a Winnt o/s. So far I have no problems with MySql and I believe Apache, since I have been able to access my pages. The problem is that Apache does not seem to be able to parse the php script. I only get the standard html text that I have placed, none of the script is being parsed. And this is just simple code for testing purposes.

Can anyone give me any recommendations/suggestions? It will be greatly appreciated.

Did you setup your script aliases in the httpd.conf file located in the conf directory of your win32 apache install? If not cut and paste this at the end of your httpd.conf file and change the path between the " " to reflect the directory you created with php.exe in it.

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php306/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php .cls
AddType application/x-httpd-php .inc
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

From what you told me that should do it!

Hi Deo,

Thanks for the suggestions. I basically did that before. What I just did was to list each file extension on seperate line - not that I believe it should have really made a difference, but just in case.

I think I have read almost everything and I just cannot figure it out. Can you think of anything I may have overlooked?

Thanks again,
Liselle

Do you have your php.ini setup in your winnt folder?

Hi,

Yes I do. I was following someone's guidelines online and part of it was to telnet my localhost. When I did this, I got error messages saying that dlls were missing. It seems as though I am missing posix.dll and isqlt09a.dll. I know they aren't on machine, but I don't even know which application they are associated with for me to better search for them. So that's where I am now.

Thanks for the suggestions.
