Apache configuration

[Anon]

Dear all,

I try to install Apache 1.3.22 to run it with php and I don't understand what the text below means.

Thanks in advance for everyone who help me.

Please consult the Apache Docs for further configuration directives.
ScriptAlias /php3/ "c:/path-to-php-dir/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php3 "/php3/php.exe"

That text is simply telling Apache that PHP exists, what extensions are PHP files, and the location/name of the PHP binary. That text is actually outdated, see below for the proper commands:

PHP as an Apache module:

1. copy php4apache.dll into the /modules sub-folder in the directory you installed apache into
2. add the following line to httpd.conf:

  LoadModule php4_module /modules/php4apache.dll

PHP as a CGI process

1. add the following lines to httpd.conf:

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

For both installation types:

1. copy php4ts.dll to your %SYSTEM% folder (c:\windows\system or c:\winnt\system32)
2. edit php.ini-dist, php.ini-optimized, or php.ini-recommended and copy it to %WINDIR% (c:\windows or c:\winnt) as php.ini
3. add the following lines to httpd.conf:

  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Now restart Apache. The ScriptAlias line assumes you installed PHP into c:\php. Change the path to suit the location which you actually installed PHP into. HTH.

Each of these lines must be added to httpd.conf, the apache configuration file. You will find some of them already in there, just commented out.

ScriptAlias /php3/ "c:/path-to-php-dir/"
--> The windows directory where you unzipped PHP

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
--> In the config file, processes files with ".php3" at the end of them through the PHP interpreter

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
--> In the config file, processes files with ".phtml" at the end of them through the PHP interpreter

Action application/x-httpd-php3 "/php3/php.exe"
--> Sez where the interpreter/executable is at
