Fred,
Thank you very much for your help. I think I have the problem solved now.
(Although I will be reading the tutorial you recommended.) After a make
clean and a thorough reading of the install file, I realized I was trying
to use static and dynamic linking, a big no-no. Additionally, the module
was not called out in /etc/ld.so.conf. After correcting these two things,
the install went much more smoothly.
The underlying cause of course stemmed from unfamiliarity with the
location of certain files and not reading the INSTALL.
Thanks again for your help.

Hello,
This is an easy answer. You MUST define this in addition to the others
listed in the httpd.conf file:
index.php index.php3 index.php4 index.phtml index.phps
this(ese) lines are found under the heading:
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php default.html default.htm
</IfModule>
Your ISP should know this. Simply tell him/ her to add them. :-)
Best wishes,
Chris

I have installed PHP on a Sambar Web Server.
The instruction <? phpinfo(); ?> works fine,
but if I try to use a Form from html or Flash,
the variables are not passed to the .php file.
For example if I want to send a message from a Form, the message in not sent
becouse the recipient address is empty.
I have added the following
instruction on Sambar Web Server, as
described on the Sambar Site www.sambar.com
[isapi]
*.php = d:\php\php4isapi.dll
Someone can help me?

Please post a short sample of the html form and the php script so that we
can see what is happening.

I have been trying to get FreeType working with PHP but have had no
luck. In Apache's error log i'm getting:
PHP Warning: libgd was not built with TrueType font support
Here's the lines that are probably pertinent from my web server
compilation script. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly
appreciated.
FreeType 2.05
-------------
make setup CFG="--prefix=/usr/local"
make
make install
GD 1.8.4
--------
Changed lines in Makefile to:
CFLAGS=-O -DHAVE_LIBPNG -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBFREETYPE
LIBS=-lgd -lpng -lz -lm -lfreetype
INCLUDEDIRS=-I. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/X11 \
-I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/usr/local/include \
-I/usr/local/src/jpeg-6b -I/usr/local/include/freetype2
# /usr/local/src/jpeg-6b is the source location for jpeg-6b.
# /usr/include/freetype2 doesn't exist, but the script i use
# for the installation doesn't remove it and since it doesn't
# exist, no harm should be done. Same with the X11 directories.
make
make install
PHP 4.0.6
---------
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.22 --with-openssl \
--with-imap=/usr/local/src/imap-2000c \
--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-dbase --with-ms-sql --with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds \
--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd --enable-track-vars \
--disable-debug --enable-pic --enable-inline-optimization \
--enable-ftp --with-xml \
--with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr/local \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/freetype-2.0.5 --with-zlib \
--enable-gd-native-tt --with-freetype
make
make install
Apache 1.3.22
-------------
SSL_BASE="SYSTEM" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--with-layout=RedHat --enable-module=most --enable-module=ssl \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
make
make certificate TYPE=dummy
make install
