my .php files are served as text

anorakgirl

hi,

i've just installed php on a second redhat box, and as far as i can tell i've done everything the same as the first one on which it works, but it doesn't - when i try to request a php file, it just gets served as text i.e. the php isn't processed.

here's what i've checked:
libphph4.so is in the right place

my httpd.conf has the following lines:
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c

and later:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

don't get any errors when i start apache or anything, can't think of anything else to check. anyone suggest anything else i could check?

thanks!

This one is easy. If you are on windows put it in your C: drive and then go to dos command prompt. Then type in rename filename.txt filename.php OR you can get CSE HTML Validator. www.htmlvalidator.com get the Lite version and it is much easier to save in .php Hope I can help. Cya!

Dude, read the post carefully. The web server is serving the .php file as text, not saving the file as .txt. And she said she is using RedHat Linux, not Windows.

Unfortunatly, I'm not of much help either. Perhaps a restart of Apache will do it... make sure config files are in the correct places, etc. Maybe copy the config files from the first server, and see what happens.

I noticed a typo.. you have an extra h, maybe that's causing the problem?

libphph4.so

thanks for the suggestions deflatarat
unfortunately -
:the typo was a typo
:my config files are in the right place (if i intentionally put an error in, apache won't start
:i've restarted the server about a zillion times 🙂

i'll try copying the config files, can't be exactly the same though cos the web config is different. think possibly that because i didn't install apache on the second machine, something may be different, no idea what though...

cheers anyway!
