apache/php...feeling like an idiot
so, in attempts to learn some things, I want to get the seemingly standard
apache/php/mysql trio on my box all playing nicely. I now have mysql on
pretty peachy, and apache seems to spew out the html documents I want. I
have apt-got php4 and php4-mysql and a couple other things as well.
However, if I try to get my apache server to serve up a php file, all the
browsers I've tried pop-up a "file save as" screen wanting me to download
this file. I believe there is something goofy in my
/etc/apache/httpd.conf file in that I am not loading some modules the
right way.
To get this working,
1) which modules need to be loaded for apache to work like it should with
php?
2) once the proper changes are made to the httpd.conf file, how do I
"activate" my changes?
3) is the problem not in the httpd.conf file?
4) is there something I need to apt-get that would have configured this
correctly "out-of-the-box" (during the apt-getting installation?)
Here's the modules section for your perusal (the next-to-the-last line I
uncommented myself, but don't know if that is all, and don't know how to
activate it:
# Please keep this LoadModule: line here, it is needed for installation.
# LoadModule vhost_alias_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_vhost_alias.so

Furthermore, an "apache -l" from the command line gives:
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
mod_macro.c
suexec: enabled; valid wrapper /usr/lib/apache/suexec
Any help that you can give this wayward chap would be appreciated...
