Re: PHP Help

Did you read and follow the installation documentation for PHP?

Re: PHP Help

Make sure you have Apache running, and the PHP extensions installed. If this were linux, I would say "Make sure you check your services". But because this is win, I have to say, check MScofig.

Do, or do not.

Re: PHP Help

Which version of Apache and PHP are you running? What install documentation did you follow? Did you restart Apache after you made changes to httpd.conf?

Re: PHP Help

Apache - 1.3.29

PHP - 4.3.4

The one on PHP.net

Yes

Listen, otherwise, i think its working, cuz when i start apache it sez
" Apache/1.3.29 <Win32> PHP/4.2.4 Running..... "

Maybe its sumthing wrong about th address im typing, cuz i type the address, and it ends with a .php, though it just appears like a bunch of text.

Re: PHP Help

Did you add a line like this in the mod_mime section?

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Re: PHP Help

<IfModule mod_mime.c>

    #
    # AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to
    # make certain files to be certain types.
    #
    AddType application/x-tar .tgz

    #
    # AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress
    # information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.
    # Despite the name similarity, the following Add* directives have nothing
    # to do with the FancyIndexing customization directives above.
    #
    AddEncoding x-compress .Z
    AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
    #
    # If the AddEncoding directives above are commented-out, then you
    # probably should define those extensions to indicate media types:
    #
    #AddType application/x-compress .Z
    #AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz
     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Re: PHP Help

No wonder you aren't getting anywhere. Slow down! You just posted 5 messages in a row. You really have to stop doing that.

Explain in steps what you did when installing PHP. Don't link to some install guide, write it down for us.

Re: PHP Help

Ok, *takes deep breaths*

1.I Install PHP on PHP.net using the Zip Package to C:\php

2.I Install Apache 2.0 to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2

3.Follow the instruction to configure Apache2.0 to work with PHP

4.Restart the Apache Server

5.Takes deep breaths and meditates

6.Goes to the site with the install.php

7.Almost rips hair out 'cause it's still a bunch of text

smile

EDIT: Would Xitami work, oh ya, I tried that too smile It doesn't work smile

Re: PHP Help

I thought you were running Apache 1.3. Oh well, exactly what changes did you make to httpd.conf? It would be great if you could post both the unaltered and the alterered version of your httpd.conf.

Re: PHP Help

The whole thing?This is all i added (copied and pasted from php.net)

; For PHP 4 do something like this:
LoadModule php4_module "c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

I puit the loadmodule at the end of the loadmodule list and the addtype at the end of the addtype list, thats all........

Re: PHP Help

Ok, that appears to be OK. Hmm, try adding the AddType at the end of the file instead.
