[robbiechen]

Admins:
My machine is HP w/s C3600, system is 11i. i have install apache2.0.46;php4.2.3;gcc3.2.
now,how can i test these? (i never play these before)
tks!

The purpose that i install these softwares is: when users invoke DB, all files can be present by PHP.

Or anyone have a demo can let me know?

Hi,
To start with php, the best is to read the documentation :
http://www.php.net/download-docs.php

But before all, check your php install if all is working :
create a file call info.php with :
phpinfo();
?>
save this file in your apache directory tree,
browse this page through your favorite browser,
you should see the config of php + variables .....
If it doesn't work, you have a trouble in your install/config (probably the apache config file : httpd.conf).

Concerning gcc, it's absolutly not the same.
a simple helloworld.c program is enough to check if gcc can compile !

post here all the details/errors if you have some, and read the INSTALL file for PHP and Apache.

tks,i will try

[robbiechen]

in your words,u said "browse this page through your favorite browser",
i donot this page is which???can u tell me definitely?

[benoit Bruckert]

the url to connect to your apache pages is :
http://yourserver
check on your server that apache is running :
#ps -ef | grep http
If it's ok, check that it's listening on http port :
#netstat -an | grep 80
If you have on your browser a page about apache, then it means your apache is working properly.
remember : to start apache:
#./apachectl start
In case of trouble in starting, check logs.

If apache is ok,you can create the file info.php in the same dir as this apache page (check in httpd.conf where is this page).
You should also uncomment some lines about php (read the doc) in httpd.conf.

Then at this level you should be able to run this script :
http://yourserver/info.php

in case of trouble, check messages in log files....
if you have on your browser :
phpinfo();
?>
then it means that php is not interpreted through apache ! check installation and httpd.conf...

It's very short, and I have no idea about your config, post a message + logs if you have some troubles.
