Can't solve the save-as problem

Anon

I am installing php4.0.4 on RedHat6.2 Apache 1.3.14.

I confirmed that I've done this to apache ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so
make
make install

The Apache running fined.

Then I've done this to php4.0.4
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin
make
make install

Everthing works fine and i've uncommented the

And for PHP 4.x, use:

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

But when I try to load the file with extension .php from /htdocs , Netscapte pops up a sava-as dialog box.

I even tried with the suggestion from with
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4

but the same problems remain.

Anyone who have successfully installed php4.0.4 successfully with mysql & apache1.3.14, please help, I've tried 1 week day & night trying to install these stuffs.

I'm following the tutorial exactly from Webmonkey website, yet it doesn't work!

Take a look at your error_log file. Restart the server. If you don't see PHP/4.0.4's signature on the Apache startup line, then you've messed up your installation. That's about all I can say...

BTW, isn't it --enable-module=mod_so ? I don't remember... I've been too lazy and am using the RPM version off of RedHat 7.0... so that's another alternative, if you're serious enough about getting it to work 😉 Upgrade it. Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks for ur kind reply.
I've check through the access_log & error_log file, no specific errors.

How do I check the PHP signature? Where is the startup line?

Thanks..

For example... my error_log has this line:

[Thu Nov 2 01:19:00 2000] [notice] Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) (Red Hat/Linux) mod_ss
l/2.6.6 OpenSSL/0.9.5a PHP/4.0.1pl2 mod_perl/1.24 configured -- resuming normal
operations

This tells me I have PHP/4.0.1pl2 successfully installed and running on my server. If you don't see this, you obviously have an install problem, and should do it again, from a different tutorial (like DevShed?). Otherwise, use the RPM's like I do 😉 Hope this helps.

Thanks Joshua,

I couldn't get the save-as solved by PHP, but i've tried out the www.nusphere.com (for mysql) (or greatbridge for PostgreSQL) , the works in one shot.

I would recommend those who facing the save-as problem to get these tools in hand.

sincere,
