Installation doesn't seem to work

I followed these instructions:
1
2 1. gunzip apache_1.3.x.tar.gz
3 2. tar xvf apache_1.3.x.tar
4 3. gunzip php-3.0.x.tar.gz
5 4. tar xvf php-3.0.x.tar
6 5. cd apache_1.3.x
7 6. ./configure --prefix=/www
8 7. cd ../php-3.0.x
9 8. ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x --enable-track-vars
10 9. make
11 10. make install
12 11. cd ../apache_1.3.x
13 12. ./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a
14 13. make
15 14. make install
16
17 Instead of this step you may prefer to simply copy the httpd binary
18 overtop of your existing binary. Make sure you shut down your
19 server first though.
20
21 15. cd ../php-3.0.x
22 16. cp php3.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php3.ini
23
24 You can edit /usr/local/lib/php3.ini file to set PHP options. If
25 you prefer this file in another location, use
26 --with-config-file-path=/path in step 8.
27
28 17. Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and add:
29

30 AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
31

32 You can choose any extension you wish here. .php3 is simply the one
33 we suggest.
34
35 18. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server. (You must
36 stop and restart the server, not just cause the server to reload by
37 use a HUP or USR1 signal.)
38

Only my httpd file says "AddType...httpd-php .php" because I'm using php4, not 3. I've made other similar changes where appliccable, when directory names were different because of the version. It's 4.1.1, incidentally.

When I go to look at phpinfo, all I get is the option to download the file. If you want to look, it's at
http://63.87.112.125
and
http://63.87.112.125/phpinfo.php

I never imagined trying to install something could be so frustrating. Argh. I really, really appreciate the help, thanks.

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3

put another line in apache config

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php

here .php3 and .php are names of file extension where the web server will run as a php script.

if u r making php files with file extension
.daniel , then add a line in the httpd.conf file like this

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .daniel

i hope this makes clear

thanks

Did you solve your problem?

I am trying the same - almost the same instructions. I can get apache to fire up and MySQL to fire up but I am not getting PHP to work. I got it going many times on Win98 and 2000, but not on Linux, RedHat.

I was first using ready-made PHP .rpm from RedHat but then tried the above procedure. I cannot get the the 'make' to work, it crashes out. I added bison and flex and the compile got a bit further along the path, but never completed. I tried gcc 2.95, 2.96 and 3.00, but none would complete the compile. I can compile Apache source OK. Would appreciate hearing your latest success :-) or failures :-(

Regards

Also check out Julie Meloni on the same site - very gooPaul

I haven't worked on it in the past few days =( I've been busy hacking some PHP scripts for a customer who has a timeline. (I have another PHP server that someone else set up for me.) Thanks for the advice though, I'll take a look into it when I'm done with this stuff.
