graaa this is so weird. I just wnet over the turotiral for a third time and it still doesnt work.

lol im getting frustrated

[Unknown] · February 08, 2004, 05:41:46 PM

Well, the first problem I see is this:

Code Select

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>

I'm going to guess you did this with Dreamweaver, no? The code I quoted was for the *source* not just the text on the page... Dreamweaver's not that smart.

Apache is also sending this content type:
Content-Type: application/x-http-php

It shouldn't be if PHP is installed properly... can you try this...?
Start -> Run -> type cmd (Windows 2000, 2003) or command -> OK -> type echo "<?php echo 1;?>" | "c:\php\php.exe".

If it continues to do this, you might try using Apache 2.0.

* [Unknown] is starting to worry that he's going to have to set up a virtual machine to get to the root of this problem.

Same message here, I'm running Apache 2.0 ?

babylonking · February 08, 2004, 06:33:10 PM

I added "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" to httpd and it works

Is it hard to install perl on Apache server?

[Unknown] · February 09, 2004, 12:26:19 AM

Perl is easy, but it's beyond the scope of my tutorial. But, just go here:

http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/

And click on download

Wait a minute, GTChat works on Windows now? Since when?

first thing is restart your apache server... coz if you've updated your http.config since your last restart, then it wont have made the changes...
next, make sure you've made the necesary changes in http.config.
If you've made teh changes it -should- know what to do with the php files
if not, yeah post the parts you edited or something...

*edit*
also, if you've chosen Apache2... then there are several things that wont work... so if you have (doesnt sound like it tho) then let me know, I'll tell you the config changes you need (it uses different files).

I'm running Apache2 and it's attempting to download the file instead of displaying it. What changes need to be made?

[Unknown] · March 11, 2004, 11:21:12 AM

Sounds like you haven't edited the conf file completely; you might want to look over this tutorial instead, if you haven't:

http://unknown.network32.net/tutorial.basic-server

If it doesn't work, attaching your configuration files might help.
