Apache 1.3.31 configuration?

[opel]

Im just about set up the latest apache with PHP on my win xp pro machine.

I followed a tutorial that was set up on Apache 1.3.29 and it tells you to configure line

DocumentRoot "c:/program Files/apache Group/Apache/htdocs

to

DocumentRoot "c:/htdocs"

so I set up a htdocs folder on my c drive and chande the only document root i could find in the file.

now when I test on my local host i get a warning mile and it opens dreamweaver?

are you sure you're opening an html file, maybe you don't have an extension on the index page or it is something you haven't added support for yet on your server.

HTTPD.CONF :



DocumentRoot "c:/htdocs"

<Directory "c:/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


make sure you set the right permissions or at least any permissions as well on the directory.
Maybe edit this line as well in your httpd.conf and add the files it has to look for when you enter the webdir


DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php


and to add php as extension :



AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

[Jeff Wheeler]

adding the php as an extension does not automatically install php btw, you have to go download it from php's website

I have downloaded it and configured it with apache as a module. I just cant find the right details for the directory. will try arcjhitects suggestiona nd get back to you. Thanks

[opel]

I've followed everything you said and checked my code but still having problems.

I've attached the default file and my modified file.Any help is appreciated?

[opel]

any time I try to look at a file on my local host it tries to download it?

[Architect]

then php isnt configured correctly.
It doesnt recognize the .php extension as a file that should be parsed or something so it asks you to dowload it.



LoadModule php4_module c:/PHP/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php


the last line on the above code you already added in your httpd.conf,
add the other one too just make the path point to your php4apache.dll correcty

[opel]

it is definately something to do with the php extension not being recognised as htm pages work.


#LoadModule php4_module C:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll

I have added this line at the end of a the other Load Module commands. I notice that the order they are loaded makes a difference?
This is also the correct address to that file?

and your other line of code I have this:


# To use CGI scripts:
#
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
#
#To use PHP scripts
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Also I created a file called index.php with thie following code:

<?
echo "Hello and welcome to the site!"
?>

when I browse to my local host it displays this inclding the "<?" but willl not let me access any other php pages???
