PHP4/Apache Install not parsing .php

[Anon]

Hello,

Basically, I've done the install, and everything looks fine to my untrained eye, yet .php files are not passed to the interpreter, and I receive plain text rather than satisfaction. If anyone can give me some clues, I'd appreciate it.

Here are the details of my install:

This is obviously a newbie problem, but I'm glad I've gotten this far in 24 hours of linux/apache/php experience. I've compiled the mod_php4.c module into Apache 1.3.12, following the Static module install instructions included in the INSTALL file in the php-4.0.0 distribution.

My httpd.conf file contains the necessary references to php as indicated:
LoadModule php4_module lib/apache/libphp4.so
AddModule modphp4.c

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

the referenced libphp4.so file is in the appropriate directory, and the php.ini file has been copied to the /usr/local/lib directory, and viewing it, I could find nothing that implicitly looked like it needed altering *yet*, so it is currently unmodified.

Apache has been restarted after modifications were made to the httpd.conf file.

Anyway, upon attempting to execute a test file containing phpinfo(), all I get is the plain text of my file.

I found a similar article describing this problem under netscape server, and checked the directory and file permissions to ensure that they were executable, to no further success.

TIA-

Part Two...

However I managed to install this, my modules were in several places. I collected them all in one directory and got the pointers right in httpd.conf.

The phpinfo() output screen is just about the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! ;-)
