I'm having a bit of a problem geting php4 to work on my stable + Progeny + 2.4 kernel machine. I have apache installed and woorking from a .deb package. I downloaded and compiled php 4.0.6, and all went well. I uncometed thet AddType lines in the default /etc/apache/httpd.conf file, and I copied php-ini.dist to /usr/local/lib/php.ini (is this correct for Debian?) I did not edit this file (should I have?). I stoped and restarted apache. I had already created a directory for webvcr, which in theroy should have working .php files. However when I point my browser to the .php file, it just offers to downladit. What am I doing wrong?
Sounds like Apache doesn't recognize PHP at all. Either it is defined inccorrectly in apache conf files , you don't have PHP installed or Apache doesn't recognize it for some other reasons. I had similar problem, but it was corrected by adding right php definions to files httpd.conf. and mime.type. I'm not sure what apache you're using, but in stable apache packages those files are created and used. However, far as I know they're only used in Debian. Since PHP was installed as a module to apache, I also checked at httpd.con was the PHP4 enabled after installation from Debian package. It wasn't and I uncommented the module in there. I hope this helps to right direction. Antti
