[Gllug] Apache2 and php4

[Chris Haynes]

Hello all,

I am attempting to install Apache 2.0.47 and php4.3.3 on slackware8.1. I am
pretty new to linux and this is something of a learning experience and so I
was anticipating a few problems along the way. Now I have pretty much
followed the instructions at lamps.efactory.de/e-lamps-2-0.shtml word for
word, but when i try to access a simple php file (<?php phpinfo(); ?>) in
lynx it just shows me the source code (i.e. <?php phpinfo(); ?>). httpd is
definitely running. I have googled for this and there are lots of instances
of the problem, but no real answers.

I have installed apache from source, and it seems to run happily. I can see
the apache welcome page and there were no runtime or compile-time errors, so
I assume there is no problem there.

configure file was:

cd /usr/local/src/lamps/httpd-2.0.47/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2/2.0.47 \
--enable-modules=all \
--enable-ssl \
--with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl/current \
--enable-so
make
make install


I have also installed php from source, and again it seemed to compile fine.
The configure file was:

cd /usr/local/src/lamps/php-4.3.3
./configure \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/current/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/current \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib/ \
--enable-versioning \
--enable-track-vars=yes \
--enable-url-includes \
--enable-sysvshm=yes \
--enable-sysvsem=yes \
--enable-ftp \
--with-config-file-path=/etc \
--with-gd
make
make install

and copied php.ini into /etc/

I have also added the appropriate lines into httpd.conf, namely

AddType application/x-httpd-php php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps

and

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so


But no luck with php files, so any ideas? As I said I'm new to this so if
there are any other files that would be helpful in diagnosis just tell me
and I'll post them,

Thanks in advance,

Chris.
