Re: apache and php

Thanks freek, Stefan and Shyamal

Php files now work in the browser!

The answer was in uncommenting the lines you suggested in the
/etc/apache/httpd.conf file and using apachectl to restart the server.
What I did not realise for a while was that I needed to exit and reload
the browser too.

Here are the changes:
	LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so
	ServerName http://127.0.0.1/
	AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
	AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

The system is a stand-alone home box with a dial-up modem. I assume that
setting ServerName http://127.0.0.1/ is appropriate.
