I'm having a little trouble getting PHP 4.2.3 and Apache 2.0.40 working together. I've at least got Apache running, and I'm trying to run the SAPI module of PHP. I've gotten all the pre-req. lines added, but it still doesn't seem to want to work. Every time I try and access index.php in the folder that I set as DocumentRoot, it comes up with a "Object not found!" I know you're a smart person, so I'm asking you. Oh, and I think it was a year or so ago that I asked you a question, under a different name that I've forgotten, about a very bad implementation of linking with javascript..something like:

function links(stat){
if (stat == 1) {window.location.href = http://www.linux.com } }


Well, the point of that is, thanks for the help on that. I never published that page, but oh well, at least I learned something. Well, I'm off to play AA:O and say :p to PHP/Apache. Thanks a lot in advance, Grizzly.

i've got php up and running in apache2.0.40 and even mysql

[daftness101]

Benneke,

Do you possibly have any idea on why it's not working? I know it shouldn't matter that I'm running it on XP. Speaking of MySQL, I think I need to set that up soon, only after I get PHP and Apache to love each other. lol.

good site on how to install php and mysql with apache (http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/21/index2a.html)

[daftness101]

Thanks for the link. I initally read this your post a few hours ago, then went off to eat dinner, and then sat back down here and guess what. They actually work! It's about time. Now I need to get MySQL working, and see if I can get PHP/MySQL to work together. I'm a little too happy now. :D Good thing I downloaded the latest MySQL manual;)

Oh, I thought I would mention something. The page you linked to, it doesn't really have much info on installing and running MySQL on Winblows and doesn't really have a good description on how to install PHP on Winblows. I found another link through that article (here (http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/00/44/index4a.html?tw=programming) at Webmonkey), that has a pretty good detailed description on installing Apache2 and PHP4 on *nix and Winblows. Well, I'm off to try and install MySQL, and get that and PHP working together. Then off to play some more freaking AA:O. Am I a little too addicted to that game? :eek: Hasta la wedgie. Thanks again Benneke.

i just installed mysql and (i believe so) a line to the apache config file

[daftness101]

A line to the config file for what reason? You know, I was skimming through the PDF (the manual that is), and it didn't really have one sentence on how to set up users, change passwords, but of course I didn't look very hard. I got tired of skimming through it. All I found was some SQL code to change the password. I'll figure it out eventually. Laters.
