PHP installation tutorial: FAQ (1)

1.

Question: I have followed the steps to install the Unix version of the APACHE module, but my php script source code is displayed in the browser, or the browser prompts me to save the file. Why?

Answer: This is caused by the PHP module not working properly. Please check the following three places:

Please make sure that the running APACHE executable file is the one you compiled successfully last time. Enter the following command:
/path/to/binary/httpd -l
If you don't see mod_php3.c in the list, you are not running a correct executable.
Please make sure you have added the correct "Mime Type" to one of your .conf. This should look like:
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
Please confirm that the "AddType" above is not in the or block, otherwise this AddType will only take effect in the current Virtualhost or Directory.

Q: I have installed PHP according to the instructions, but my PHP still does not work with IIS. Why?

Answer: You must ensure that the user who needs to run PHP has sufficient permissions to run php.exe. The IIS server uses an anonymous account created during installation. This account requires permission to run php.exe. In addition, any authenticated user also has permission to run php.exe.

Q: How to compile PHP with APACHE 1.3.X?

A: It's easy, just follow the steps below:

- Get the latest APACHE distribution package from the APACHE site
- UNZip/UNTAR files to a directory, such as /usr/local/src/apache-1.3.9
- Enter "./configure --with-apache=/path/to/your/apache" to start compiling PHP for the first time
- Execute "make" and "make install" sequentially to create and copy the necessary files to the APACHE directory
- Enter the APACHE directory and edit the Configuration file. Add: "AddModule modules/php3/libphp3.a" at the end of the file
Execute "./Configure","make"

Everything is done, you already have an APACHE executable file that can run PHP
