Greetings Josh, and other members of the php-install group,
With ongoing network problems at my home preventing download of the latest
Apache and PHP versions (heavy packet loss in wet weather), I finally just
purchased a copy of Core PHP Programming by Leon Atkinson - complete with
apache and PHP tar archives on CD. But I am still encountering the same
problem ie php code is not being processed (I see HTML output, but not PHP
output).
I copied the following to tar archives from the books CD to /usr/local/src:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1709589 May 7 2000 apache_1.3.12.tar.gz
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1928405 May 27 2000 php-4.0.0.tar.gz
I followed the installation instructions in that book (using static instead
of shared lib), and all went without a problem - until I tried to run php
through netscape-4.72-6 on Linux 2.2.14 (SuSE 6.4). In Netscape, under View
Page Source, I see the PHP code - but it's not executing.
In my most recent attempt to configure Apache and PHP from scratch I followed
the suggestions of Josh Lokot but encountered the following configure
problems in specifying apxs.
Your input is appreciated. I am looking forward to making use of PHP!

configure: error: Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Either you need to install Perl

ou need to pass the absolute path of apxs by using

bombur:/usr/local/src/php-4.0.0 # whereis perl

So next I tried a different apxs path:

Saw that apxs perl script was looking for /usr/local/bin/perl, so modified to
/usr/bin/perl:
bombur:/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.12/src/support
# vi apxs
...
bombur:/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.12/src/support # whereis perl

bombur:/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.12/src/support # cd ../../../php*
