Pre-purchase MYSQL and PHP Config

  • After perusing some of the forums, I was thinking I'd try and get mysql and php running with my webserver before I got a headache trying to install this software because I wasn't prepared with other functions. I got it working so with a test.php file

    phpinfo();
    ?>

    I got what I was looking for.

    I was then screwing around with apache to make sure I could setup an .htaccess protected admin directory. I restarted httpd, now when I try and look at test.php, my browser tried to download the file. I no longer am able to get anything other than the download dialog. ACK! What did I do. I'd really like to get this worked out before I purchase or try the lite version. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

  • Thanks for your help. I went searching for the libphp4.so module because, though it was there, I was getting rid of the rpm installs of mysql and php and installed from the source instead. I must have rpm -e instead of a query and the php modules were deleted. Thanks for all that helped, I can test this baby out now.

    Cheers! :D

    It is a pain in the arse and thats why i'm getting a nice Redhat server.


  • Just to check;

    Do you have the line in bold entered in your http.conf file;



    DirectoryIndex index.html
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    DirectoryIndex index.htm




    ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"



    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php



    Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"


    All in http.conf


  • Chances are you removed the lines that make PHP work with Apache. Unless you really did some deleting, the comments that explain how to do it should still be there. Just search for php in httpd.conf.

  • Hmm...is the directory you are trying to use .htaccess with the same directory that your test.php file is in by any chance?


  • I really only added a convention. I can't see the problem. I made no modifications to the php portions of the httpd.conf file. I know it HAS to be Apache as it's not parsing the php files at all anymore...I want to scream! :confused:
