Hi Keneth,
The php3 and php3-mysql packages are for version 3 of php. The
packages I mentioned are for version 4. If you want to use version 3,
and NOT version 4, then you have the correct packages. If you want to
upgrade to php4, install the ones I mentioned.
I'm unfamiliar with the tweaks needed to activate the php3 packages,
as I haven't installed them myself. I know the php4 packages pretty
well, though =)
There are basically 2 things you should have to do, to make sure that
your apache install recognizes your version of php.
The first is to make sure you're loading the php modules. In
httpd.conf, look for a line resembling the following:
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so
(this is the php4 module - yours might be libphp3.so or libphp.so)
Make sure it's uncommented.
Next, look for the following section:
# For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache
# distribution - see http://www.php.net) will typically use:
#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
#
# And for PHP 4.x, use:
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
(here I have the php4 entries uncommented, but you can see the php3
ones above it, commented out in my case. In your case you'll probably
want the php3 ones active, and the php4 ones uncommented.)
After making sure everything is correct, stop apache with:
# /etc/init.d/apache stop
Verify that it's indeed stopped (ps aux | grep apache) and restart
it with:
# /etc/init.d/apache start
Now, in your apache docroot (default on Debian seems to be /var/www)
make a file called phpinfo.php3 (or phpinfo.php if you upgrade to
php4) containing the following:
<? phpinfo(); ?>
Save it, then bring it up in a browser with:
http://localhost/phpinfo.php3
If all goes well, you should see the php information page, which can
tell you all sorts of nifty things about your installation.
If all doesn't go well, let us know what happens.
