Re: [NEWBIE] Installing PHP and Apache on Debian
More or less, but as with most things it is slightly more complicated
than that. First off, there are quite a few optional php modules,
mcrypt, mysql, gd and what have you,
apt-cache search php
should show you all of them (look for the php4- prefix). Although I am
not positive (its been a while since I last formatted my server) I think
you need to un-comment the line in /etc/apache/httpd.conf to load the
php module, which looks like
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so
and uncomment the AddType bit for PHP also
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
So that apache will know to parse php files (if you want to make your
php scripts have a different extention sub that in). Other than that,
the installation of apache and PHP on debian is quite straightforward.
Have fun.
BTW I think I may have sent this to your email instead of the list, my
mistake. Sorry
