    configuring php & apache webserver

    Hello All,

    Unable to run php files on Linux . php-4.2.2 is
    preinstalled on RHL 9 .Whenever I run a .php file in the
    webbrowser(Mozi lla) the HTML source code of the file is being
    displayed instead of the output .

    I did all the elementary diagnosis stated in the FAQ's like ....

    1) $php -i (enter)

    This command results in pagefule of HTML code (This indicates php is
    working properly).

    2)Inserted the following in httpd.conf file ....

    AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

    3)php4 module "libphp4.so " is seen under /etc/httpd/modules

    4)$apachectl configtest (enter)
    syntax ok (output)


    According to the www.php.net/manual/installation_FAQ if "$php -i"
    results in loads of HTML code & if HTML source is displayed when the
    ".php" is run in the webbrowser then it indicates that php is working
    properly and the problem lies with the webserver configuration .

    There is one thing which is bit confusing ...... according to install
    manual "php.ini" file should be placed under /usr/local/lib ,but i
    found the file under /etc .

    According to FAQ if file is under different location (other than
    default location ) then following line has to be added ..

    --with-config-file-scan-dir=PATH

    But even after adding the line there is no change !


    Is the problem with the Apache Webserver or php . Where can I find
    php configuration file & can I make changes to it once it is installed
    .. I could not find any php directory where such config file could be
    found .

    Sorry for such a lengthy query ........ its just an effort to give a
    complete picture .

    Plz help me out ..I'm posting this after going through the available
    FAQ's on the net .


    Thx in advance .

    Regards
