Howdy,
According to the installed docs for apache, there is a way to turn on
PHP, PYTHON, PERL, etc. But I can't seem to get it to work.
Inside the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, there are a number of
"IfDefine HAVE_PHP" type directives, and there are instructions on how
to invoke them using "httpd -D HAVE_PHP", but whenever I attempt that,
I get a usage list like "{start|stop|restart|...} that doesn't include
the -D usage. However, if you run "httpd --help" you _do_ get a usage
instruction that includes the -D option.
Then, some unexpected flash of brilliance reminded me that the file
should not be called 'index.html'; it should be called 'index.php4'.
Making this change caused the php code I placed on that page to start
working.
One would think *that* bit of info would be mentioned in the "how to
test your installation" document that I was reading when I got into
this very long configuration debugging session to begin with!
