I got a problem with Apache & PHP.

First off, I'm trying to get PHP working with Apache.
I added this line to my httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
and I have set index.php to the default index page.

When I go to my test page (index.php) with a little <? print(Date("l F d,
Y")); ?> on it,
both Opera and Explorer try to open it as an application and ask me where I
want to save it.
They doesn't seem to recognize it well.

Any hints? Thank's for reading.

You haven't configured something properly. What O/S are you using?
Which version of Apache? Which version of PHP? All of these bits of
info would be useful to help as each version of Apache, and PHP
versions, as well as the O/S have their own set up and config.

You also need to add a .htaccess file in your base directory, containing

DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.php

in order to advise Apache that if index.shtml (or .html) is not existing
the index.php would become the entry file of your website

Isn't that what he said he did?

I just went through this myself. You also need to add this line to your

httpd.conf AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

The handler line is omitted from the Apache documentation for some
reason, but it's somewhere in the PHP documentation. That should fix
it. Keep us informed on how you're doing.

I'm trying to configure Apache on an IBM iSeries 270 running OS400 V5R1 with
PHP 4.3 and I can't get it to recognize .php (or .pl for perl files either).
Here is the relavent part of my apache httpd.conf file:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-perl .cgi .pl
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
ScriptAlias /perl-bin /QOpenSys/perl/bin/
AddType application/x-httpd-perl .pl
AddType application/x-httpd-perl .cgi
Action application/x-httpd-perl /perl-bin/perl
<Directory /QOpenSys/perl/bin>
Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +Indexes
Order Allow,Deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /php-bin /QOpenSys/php/bin/
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php /php-bin/php
<Directory /QOpenSys/php/bin>
Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +Indexes
Order Allow,Deny
allow from all
</Directory>

Any ideas or pointer to how to configure apache on an AS400 would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim....

s/b ScriptAlias /perl-bin/ /QOpenSys/perl/bin/
note trailing slash at the end of the nickname -- if one ends with a
trailing slash, the other should as well.


Technically, the AddHandlers here are irrelevant because you are
using ScriptAlias


>AddType application/x-httpd-perl .pl
>AddType application/x-httpd-perl .cgi

Could use one line:
AddType application/x-httpd-perl .pl .cgi

>Action application/x-httpd-perl /perl-bin/perl
><Directory /QOpenSys/perl/bin>
> Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +Indexes
> Order Allow,Deny
> allow from all
></Directory>

s/b Options +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +Indexes
don't need +ExecCGI because it is redundant -- ScriptAlias makes all
files in the named directory executable by default.

>ScriptAlias /php-bin /QOpenSys/php/bin/

add trailing slash -- see above.

>AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Try adding:
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
but can't say that will be effective.

With the above AddType, only files with the extension .php with be
processed by the PHP interpreter.

>Action application/x-httpd-php /php-bin/php
><Directory /QOpenSys/php/bin>
> Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +Indexes
> Order Allow,Deny
> allow from all
></Directory>

s/b Options +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +Indexes
see notes above.

I can give you the above advice only. It has been literally several
years since I did any work at all with an AS400. Have you tried to
implement them as modules as opposed to CGI?

Make sure that there are no AllowOverrides being inherited from parent
directories.

Try making the changes I suggested to see if that helps any.

TOG
