okay, here's another jab at it --
in the beginning, there was php. and it was good.
then they improved it and improved it.
so you gotta be able to distinguish between php, php3 and php4,
right? when i messed with it, apt-get removed php3 when i installed
php4, so that's pretty thorough when it comes to differentiating.
but checking out the /server-info report, i saw:
Module Name:
mod_php4.c
Content handlers:
application/x-httpd-php , application/x-httpd-php-source ,
text/html
Configuration Phase Participation:
Create Directory Config, Merge Directory Configs
Request Phase Participation:
none
note the mime major/minor types? THAT is what your apache module is looking
for...
$ grep 'php' /etc/apache/httpd.conf
LoadModule php3_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp3.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
so my setup was goofy as well. i changed it to
$ grep 'php' /etc/apache/httpd.conf
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
(no *-php3*, just *-php*) and voila, suddenly all is sparkles:
<? phpinfo(); ?>
on *my* setup, any *.phtml file is treates as a
application/x-httpd-php
file because of the directive
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
in my httpd.conf file.
if i wanted it to treat any *.html file as php, i'd say
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
or i could just use bizarre codes of my own:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .doh
or, use a <Location> directive like the cgi-bin directory does:
<Location /p3>
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .
</Location>
but the mime types you tell apache to look for hafta match
what the modules are expecting!
