php problem

[Anon]

Hi
I have installed PHP4 on a RedHat 7.0 but when I try to view a php file what I see is the code of the php file. Can somebody tell me what is wrong?

Did you change the webserver config according to the manual?

What exactly has to be done?

Thanks

Well, you need to check the install section of the manual, that's what needs to be done. :-)

Hi!
Seems like your webserver dosn't interpret the php. Means the .php extension is not associated with any application handler. When using the apache, look for the section application handler in the online doc.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. I have followed the following steps. Do let me know if I am wrong anywhere.
1. stopped the apache
2. Downloaded the php-4.0.5.tar file.
3. untarred the file
4. cd to the php-4.0.5 directory
5. ./configure
6. make
7. make install
8. restarted apache

the httpd.conf on my linux machine has the following entry:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I think that should take care of the application handler.

I am saving the php files as .php3 Is that fine?

I have a Redhat Linux 7.0 machine. I am trying to install PHP4 on that. What is the exact procedure to be followed? How do I check whether it is installed correctly? Can any body help me out pls?

I use win32 but ist should be something like:
ScriptAlias /php4/ "c:/phpdirectory/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php4/php.exe"

I think .php for .php3-extensions is not enough. And don't forget the config for php!
