I cant use php

**obs** · 12-22-2004

how to use php? I try <? phpinfo(); ?> but nothing happens.

Apache is working well, and mysql too.

What I must do to be able to use php ?

I found this:
PACKAGE NAME: php-4.3.7-i486-1.tgz
PACKAGE LOCATION: ./slackware/n

so php must be installed on my system, cus i do "full" install.

Did you add the line to your apache2.conf to load the php4 module? It's actually probably in there, but commented (IIRC).

I add only "Include /etc/apache/php_mod.conf" to httpd.conf but does not help.

What else I must add?

Its "Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf" not php_mod.conf. That should get it working. Restart apache after you edit the config, of course.

no, I just make mistake here in the forum. in the conf I write it right.

I write in the php.ini doc_root = "/var/www/htdocs". is that corect ? or the path must be diferent?

edit:
I remove doc_root from php.ini and now its working... :D

Glad to hear it.

A little offtopic but I noticed you are using an old PHP version and probably other software with security problems as well. Check the security section on the Slackware page and install the updated packages mentioned in there.

Right now, Patrick V. is working to catch up with the patches (he was very ill for some time) so keep looking at those pages.

don't get php 5 though, cuz a lot of php scripts are still uncompatiable with version 5.

I know that this is an old subject but I'm having a similar problem.

I don't want to use mysql as database so I didn't enabled it.

I'm using Slackware 11 full install. Apache is running perfectly and I uncommented

Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf

in the httpd.conf file.

I created a hello.php file and put it in /var/www/htdocs/ directory

It only has <? phpinfo(); ?>

and when I try to see http://localhost:2002/hello.php I only see

<? phpinfo(); ?>

Someone could help me please?

I think it's to be <?php echo phpinfo(); ?>
