PHP not working - Won't parse code?

[SlowCoder]

I'm using Slackware 9, with the included Apache and PHP packages. I performed the configurations on the httpd.conf file, based on the PHP install docs.

I verified that the following exist in the file:
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c

and added this:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

After restarting the apache server, I am asked to save the file, rather than being able to view the page.

Can anyone help?

reboot the machine and see what happens.

Funny you mentioned that ... that's exactly what I did. And it worked! Can you explain why?

[Giro]

Not sure why you should not have to reboot, But it happens with Debian as well i banged my head against the wall trying to figure out why my changes hadnt worked

[big_k105]

actually i think all you would have had to do is restart apache so that it would use the updated config file. and when you reboot the system it restarts apache

[Giro]

It doesnt work restarting apache he tried that maybe a stop/start would make it parse the conf?

[big_k105]

that mite be it but im not 100%

It does, every time I add/remove/modify my apache config I restart apache (btw, the '/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart' command shold be the same as "/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop" && '/rc.d/init.d/httpd start'), via the rc script, it reloads the config file(s).

The same happened to me. I suggest you recompile your php again. Somewhere in your compilation might went wrong. It's easier to recompile than to figure out what went wrong especially if youre a newbie -it's a fresh install of apache and php anyway.

YOu see, After I recompiling the service all went fine while following the same procedure I did the first time around.

You may also parse on this site my post regarding this question.

I'm using Fedora Core 5.
If I enter the following line into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

AddModule mod_php5.c

I get the error message:

Syntax error on line 202 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'AddModule', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
httpd not running, trying to start

When I enter

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

I get:

# httpd -k restart
[Sun Dec 10 15:11:39 2006] [warn] module php5_module is already loaded, skipping
httpd not running, trying to start

I'm trying to install mambo to my webserver and need PHP of course. I set the .php files to apache,apache and 'executable'.

Why won't it parse php code??
