Thanks Adam, That makes sense but shouldn't I see mod_php when I do an httpd -l after following the 'Static' install instructions from the INSTALL file? I also don't see anything about php when I do a /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -V under the 'Server compiled with' section. I was only looking to execute php from the command line because I was trying to see if it installed properly. Is it not possible to get php working with apache and be able to execute php from the command line? I've followed the 'Static' Install directions without errors and have inserted the AddType line into my apache config file (httpd.conf) and I'm still getting the download dialog box when I make a request from a browser for a page with a .php extension. HTML files are properly processed by apache and if I make up a file extension i.e.- 'phpinfo.hot' and request that from a browser apache sends the contents to the browser (php code available via view source). Does it matter if the AddType line is in my main httpd.conf file of the virtual host file? Is there a specific dir you need to put the php files in for apache to parse. My php.ini had nothing specified for the doc_root directive by default. I tried setting it, still no success. Is there anyway to check which directories apache will properly parse php files from after installation?

Ben Nicolas Cc: John Coder; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-INST] PHP install problem, engine not parsing php files If your trying to compile the PHP binary instead of building it into PHP, you need to drop the --with-apache line and add something like: --prefix=/usr/local/php Which will create an actual php executable in that directory, but this will not make it work with Apache.

My problem is that every time I try to make a request for a php page from a browser, the 'Download Dialog' box appears in explorer and the browser automatically downloads the php file without the server processing the php code??... > > if I remeber correctly you need apache with mod.so also configured if > you ar doing it as a dynamic library. siince the response to you doing > httpd -l doesn't say anything about it being there that is probably the > culprit. > > John Coder > > > > -- > PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
