PHP/Apache RH7.2

[Anon]

I installed PHP 4.0.4pl1-9, using RedHat RPM and Apache 1.3.22-1.7.1 from a RedHat RPM as well.
I'm running on RedHat 7.2

As explained in the PHP faqs on php.net, I checked this in the httpd.conf file and it was already there

Extra Modules

AddModule mod_php.c
AddModule mod_php3.c
AddModule mod_perl.c

Extra Modules

LoadModule php_module modules/mod_php.so
LoadModule php3_module modules/libphp3.so / for PHP 3 /
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so / for PHP 4 /
LoadModule perl_module modules/libperl.so

And add:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 / for PHP 3 /
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php / for PHP 4 /

But php is still not working.
The exact content of the file is displayed ie
<? echo ("this is the simplest, an SGML processing instruction\n"); ?>

It doesn't process anything..

Can anybody help me?

Thank you very much!

What's the filename for that script? Make sure it ends with .php

I tried with .php, .php3 and .php4
Always the same problem.. :-(
from the command line,

php test.php
works fine so there is no problem with the php engine.
It's Apache that doesn't process php files..

Thanks for your help

I solved the problem ;-)
Here is how I did it if somebody is interested:

In the config file of Apache, httpd.conf

In the LoadModule List, I changed

<IfDefine HAVE_PHP4>
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
</IfDefine>

for

#<IfDefine HAVE_PHP4>
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
#</IfDefine>

Same for AddModule mod_php4.c

And same for
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml

I don't really understand why it did not recognize the HAVE_PHP4 in the first place but now it works fine.

If somebody understands why, I am always interested to know ;-)
