newbie, Win98, apache ok, no PHP served

Anon

i installed the PHPTriad package, made the changes required. apache will serve from localhost, but trying to serve a php file, such as http://localhost/index.php results in 'file not found'.

it would be helpful if i knew which file and settings cause the PHP stuff to run. i made the changes such as:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Action application/x-httpd-php "c:/apache/php/php.exe"

in the httpd.conf file that i think is supposed to hook apache to PHP.

Win98 box, search feature for this forum not working today.

what might i be missing?

TIA,

Dumb question but, is your web server running?

If it is insert this line of code into a .php file and you will see the system variables.

<?php

phpinfo();

Again, this shows whether or not modules such as mysql support,xml,etc are enabled.

Sorry for the stupid question...I should read before engaging my mouth. Anyway, it appears that you're missing a script alias:

BEGIN PHP CONFIG

ScriptAlias /php3/ "C:/Program Files/apache/apache/php/"
ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/Program Files/apache/apache/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
Action application/x-httpd-php3 /php/php.exe

END PHP CONFIG

Hope that helps!

I've yet to give it a go but I thought I'd pass it along.
