PHP installation tips: FAQs

I. Q: I have installed the APACHE module for Unix by step, but the source code of my PHP script is displayed in the browser, or the browser prompts me to keep the file. Why? A: This is because the PHP module does not work properly. Check the following: I have installed the APACHE module for Unix by step, but the source code of my PHP script is displayed in the browser, or the browser prompts me to keep the file. Why?

A: This is because the PHP module does not work properly. Check the following three premises:

Make sure that the running APACHE fulfillment file is the one that you compiled successfully. Enter the following command:
/Path/to/binary/httpd-l
If you do not see mod_php3.c in the list, you have not run an accurate fulfillment file.
Make sure that you have entered the correct 'Mime type' in one of your. conf files. This should be like:
AddType application/x-httpd-php3. php3
Make sure that the 'addtype' above is not in the OR block; otherwise, this AddType takes effect only in the current Virtualhost or Directory.

2. Q: I have already installed PHP as instructed, but my PHP still cannot work with IIS. why?

A: You must ensure that PHP users have sufficient permissions to run php.exe. The iisserver uses an anonymous account number created during installation. this account number is used to run php.exe. In addition, any authenticated users have the right to run php.exe.

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

A: This is simple. you only need to follow the steps below:

-Obtain the latest APACHE distribution package from the APACHE site
-UNZIP/UNTAR file to a directory, such as/usr/local/src/apache-1.3.9
-Input './configure -- with-apache =/path/to/your/Apache'.
-Perform 'make' and 'make install' in sequence, and create and copy necessary files to the APACHE Directory.
-Enter the APACHE Directory to compile the Configuration file. At the end of the file, enter 'addmodule modules/php3/libphp3.a'
Fulfill './Configure', 'make'

Everything is done. you already have an APACHE fulfillment file that can run PHP.

4. Q: When I compile PHP and APACHE together, it seems that there is a title. It always says that the httpd. h file cannot be found, but the file actually exists. Why?

A: You need to let the PHP configuration/installation script know the highest level directory of your APACHE source code, rather than the directory containing httpd. h files. That is to say, you should specify '-- with-apache =/path/to/apache/' instead of '-- with-apache =/path/to/apache/src '.

5. Q: I have installed PHP in the application RPM, but APACHE cannot process the PHP file. Why?

A: If your application RPM accurately installs PHP, you must repeat it or add the following lines to the httpd. conf file:

# Extra Modules
AddModule mod_php.c
AddModule mod_php3.c
AddModule mod_perlc.
# Extra Modules
LoadModule php_module modules/mod_php.so
LoadModule php3_module modules/libphp3.so
LoadModule perl_module modules/libperl. so

In addition, join again:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3. php3 to the global part of httpd. conf, or to the part you need to provide PHP support.

6. Q: How can I use the MAIL function to send emails in WINDOWS?

A: PHP uses the SENDMAIL program to send mails in UNIX/LINUX. if SENDMAIL is not available in WINDOWS, you can use the SMTP protocol. the specific method is as follows: modify PHP. SMTP in the [mail function] of the INI file.
