[PHP-INSTALL] Help! From: Gerry or Karen Craswell (craswellg <email protected>)
Date: 09/23/03

First let me make it clear that I am a beginner at this stuff so even
simple problems seem to be stumping me.
I have installed Apache 1.3.28 and PHP 4.3.3 and am hoping to use them
to test web pages that I am planning to develop that will extract data
out of mysql (which I have also installed). Apache is working, when it
is started I can call for http://localhost and I get the index file from
htdocs, no problem.
When I start Apache, the line comes up in the dos window
Apache/1.3.28 (Win32) PHP/4.3.3 running . . .
>From this I assume that php is also installed OK and should be working.
The problem is that I can't get a php test page to come up. I have
created a page called today.php that has the following code which
according to a book I have should return a statement with todays date.
 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Today's Date</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>Today's Date (according to this Web server) is
<?php
 echo( date("l, F dS Y.") );
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
 
 
The message that I get is

Not Found

The requested URL /cgi-bin/php.exe/today.php was not found on this
server.
 
Why is it looking there, and how can I fix it?
 
If I rename the file today.htm, the text statement comes up, but it
doesn't process the php part (which I didn't expect it to, but it tells
me the html is working OK)
