Hi Scott,
Many thanks for your help.
1 - I do see several blocks <IfDefine>...</IfDefine> in httpd.conf but I
only got:
root 3353 0.0 0.3 1728 564 pts/1 s 15:48 0:00 fgrep httpd
when I did
ps auxww | fgrep httpd
2 - PHP seems to be installed. I got
php -4.0.6-7
when I did
rpm -q php
3 - I modified the Apache start-up script as follows:
(I will try to creat the separate file later)
# Source additional OPTIONS if we have them.
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/apache ] ; then
. /etc/sysconfig/apache
fi
# note JF 02/07/17
# added following 2 lines
OPTIONS="-DHAVE_PHP4"
echo $OPTIONS
4 - It still doesn't work.
I'm testing with following index.html. Can you suggest any other test ?
<!-- Contents "under construction" -->

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;

Thanks again, JF
