running php documents

[aztek]

I have just installed php 4 and apache 1.3 on my windows 98 box. I am pretty sure I have made all the proper modifications to php.ini and httpd.conf. When i try to access a php document, for example http://localhost/test.php, it attempts to download the file. What should I do.

I reinstalled apache and now when try to run a php document it displays the page as a blank one. I can't even get a hello world to run.

-aztek

It is attempting to download pages again. I give up!

I had the same problem and this is what I did to fix it... right or wrong, it worked.

Check your httpd.conf file to see if apache is seeing these lines:

#location of your .exe, note: "/"
Action application/x-httpd-php /php/php.exe

#Add your extensions
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

#depending on what you plan to use:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.cgi index.php3 index.php4

-----------
insert this line at apache/conf/httpd.conf:
------------------------------------------
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
------------------------------------------
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.cgi index.php3

I actually have all that in one place or another in the .conf file with one exception being this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4

I guess I have never seen anything to clarify whether they need to be on separate lines or if they can be on one line.

This seems to work ok.
