Hi,

After many hours of searching  FAQ's in vain, can some kind soul help me
get PHP to work ?

I installed RedHat 7.2  +  KDE about a week ago (my first Linux
intallation) without any significant problems and everything seemed to
be working
fiine until I tried PHP (with famous test "Hello World"). PHP refuses to
send me that greeting. It looks like the PHP module needs to be
activated.

I found the following lines in the httpd.conf that was installed in my
system:

<IfDefine> HAVE_PHP4>
LoadModule php4-module
</IfDefine>
.....
<IfDefine> HAVE_PHP4>
AddModule php4-module.c
</IfDefine>

And the following lines in the Apache startup script :

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/apache ] ; then
        . /etc/sysconfig/apache
fi
....
start() {
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
        daemon $httpd `moduleargs` $OPTIONS
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/httpd
        return $RETVAL
}

Note: I also have a file /etc/php.ini

The "Apache Aministrator's Handbook" I'm using says that to activate
modules, Apache should be started" with /usr/sbin/httpd -D<name>."
Is it correct to assume that  some "options" should be passed to the
function start() from the file ./etc/sysconfig/apache ?

Were can I get  this famous file ./etc/sysconfig/apache or instructions
to make it. I cannot find this file in my system.

This may be a bit academic because I guess I could try to make it work
by just commenting the "If" and "/If" lines around "LoadModule" and
"AddModule", but I would like to follow the thinking of whoever made
these start and conf files.
.
Thanks, Joe Fazenda
