apache and php 5 question

[Tammy Liang]

I installed apache (2.0.53) and php 5.0.3.
I can not access php page, it displays a file download window to save the php file.
I have follow lines in httpd.conf file:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-htpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Thanks for any help

What Linux Distribution?

How did you do the install?

Were there any errors?

I can't help without more information.

Red hat's httpd apache port still uses 4.x php because the kinks have not all been worked out of integrating the 5 version.

Sometimes you don't want to be bleeding edge.

Hi Liang,

It seems PHP was not supported. How did you install it? Compile apache and php from source? I think Redhat never provide offical rpm for php 5. The following URL wish to help you to install it.

It is Redhat ES3.
# tar zxvf httpd-2.0.53.tar
# cd httpd-2.0.53.tar
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--enable-module=so
# make
# make install
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

# tar zxvf php-5.0.3.tar.gz
# cd php-4.3.9
# ./configure --with-oci8=$ORACLE_HOME \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--enable-sigchild
# make
# make install
# cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Hi,Liang

You should compile php with --with-apxs2, because apache is 2.0 version.
Don't forget edit file httpd.conf,then restart apache service.

It is fixed.
There is typo on
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

Thanks..
