Apache works. PHP not. (PHP modul problem)

[Knud]

Hello,
I've installed the Web Server package v.2.0.55.00 (with PHP4 module support) via swinstall. After the installation I started apache and it worked.
Now I want to enable PHP support on the webserver. I followed the assignments on the FAQ site, but nothing changed. The PHP scripts I want to execute will be proffered for download.

What can I do?

Thank you for your help.

Knud,
have you set the MIME type?

What error messages you are getting ? Can you be more specific ? Check apache log file to find out more on what went wrong.

Hello,

The MIME types are defined with the following line in /opt/hpws/apache/conf/httpd.conf:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

I didn't change this line.


The PHP module is added with this line:

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

This line was a comment.


I changed also the following comment in /opt/hpws/apache/bin/apachectl into active:

export LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD:$ORACLE_HOME/JRE/lib/PA_RISC/native_threads/libja
va.sl"

Thats the description in this FAQ entry.
http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/webservers/apache/faqs/index.html#php3


The only "error" I get is, that I can download the *.php-files like *.zip-files (or something else) from the webserver. The code will not execute.
In the apache error log (/opt/hpws/apache/logs/error_log) are no errors.

Thanks

Knud,
I assume you have ScriptAlias and Action clauses for the PHP in httpd.conf ?
Action application/x-httpd-php ...

Hi Peter,
No I haven't. What do I have to add?

[Peter Godron]

Knud,
just before we start down this road. After doing your changes did you restart the apache server?

Also have a look at:

[Knud]

Hi Peter,

Yes I did.

What's the difference of PHP as a static and a shared module?

[Knud]

Hi,

Don't ask me why... but now it works...

I removed the package and installed it again. After a reboot I started apache and it worked.

Thanks for your help :-)

Sure, I will ;-)

Another question: How can I connect to an mysql database? Is the mysql support enabled?

[Arunvijai_4]

Hello, You need to recompile PHP to enable MySQL support. Also, you can find FAQ here,

This means that I have to start the configure script with other options (--with-mysql)?
Because I read that mysql is built in PHP.
