Apache, Virtual Hosts, PHP and WinNT

tisource

To whom it may concern,

We have recently changed to apache, and are trying to get php to work with it. Normally it would be easy, but we're hosting three domains. So, we've got virtual hosts set up, which works. PHP doesn't. I have index.php set up as the default document, then index.htm, then index.html. If I do a url that is a directory, such as domain.com/dir, I get forbidden errors. When I request the file directly, such as domain.com/dir/index.php, I get 500 server errors.

I have the same php configuration on my notebook, winme, with the same version of apache (its a development machine) and php works just fine.

Do I need to add directives to my virtual hosts section, or is there another directive or command I must put in there? Do I have to put the perl shebang in the script?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jason

what do the error_log file say

The same thing: directory listing " whatever " denied.

If I specify the file directly, it simply shows 500 error. ???

Normally, do you have to have extra directives in the virtual hosts section of your apache httpd.conf to get php to work?

I'm not sure where to go with this.

The error log indicates "couldn't spawn child process"

The log also indicates that the #! is missing. But if I put it in, it prints #! at the top of each page.

I tried to set it up so apache would recognize the .php and work with it accordingly. I didn't think you needed the #!.

I've also got a few "Premature end of script headers: c:/php/php.exe" errors in there.

I'm not sure what to do next. Should I try the php4apache.dll module, or is my problem unrelated to that?

Any help would be appreciated. I'm at a dead end.

Thanks.
