Mandrake 7.2

Anon

In Mandrake 7.2 php is built in, but how do I set it up so I can code in php. You see php is built in, but not setup. How do I set it up? I did a development install and think I have appache running also. Please Help.

good question

You need to install the mod_php package from the installation CD which isn't installed by default. You might want some of the php_* modules as well.

Once the mod php package is installed, make sure that the following lines in httpd.conf are uncommented and the web server restarted:

LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so

AddModule mod_php4.c

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

I recently installed mandrake 7.2 with php/sendmail and there is a problem with 7.2 because the mail queue permissions are not set correctly for php to run. So if you have the problem like i did with the mail() function not working, that is your problem. I'm not sure how to fix it yet (i set that dir. /var/mail/queue/somehting i think) to 777) so if anyone could let me know how to fix that so it is more secure that would be great. It's a pretty small server so it's not a big concern to be running at 777 i don't think.
