Installing php on fedora 6
I just installed Fedora 6 and I need to know how to install php. I was able to install apache when I did the OS install and when I go to ad/remove programs php has checkmarks next to them so I believe their installed. But there is no php testpage i can view. How do I get this working?

if you write a simple php script to echo 'hello world'; kind of script and run a commandline text like
php /your/script.php
does the script work properly???
if so, then the php.conf in httpd should point to a libphp5.so in /etc/http/modules directory.
mine has the following lines
################
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddType text/html .php
DirectoryIndex index.php
###########
or else you can try a
rpm -e php (or remove php-mysql first and then this package and)
do a
yum install php
php /your/script.php

what about
php test.php
????
php test.php
????
if the script executes fine then we know that php is not the culprit and we need to look at your httpd.conf and other details. but if php itself is a problem, then we need to ensure that the installation did not ahve any trouble when it installed. you can get output of php files through a command line execution "php /my/script.php" and therefore the question.

[root@localhost ~]# php test.php
Could not open input file: test.php
[root@localhost ~]#
Perhas theres another location to put my php files?

i suggested "yum install" after removal of php. it seems that your rpm -q is giving yum a reply for the question of php installation and version number. do the above and then if it is not working i would suggest removal and reinstallation of php all over again. NOT otherwise.

write a file called test.php and here are the contents
############
<?php
echo "Hello User!!!!";
?>
##################
then do a php test.php in the same directory as where you have written the file. it should run from anywhere.
ideally php executable is in /usr/bin/php (is the file there????)

i think theres an issue integrating apache w/ the php, because the php is definately installed.
do NOT remove before you confirm that php is not working. once we know firmly then we can go one by one and do
rpm -e php-mysql
rpm -e php-odbc
.
.
.
rpm -e php
and when it is all done,
yum install php
rpm -e php-mysql
rpm -e php-odbc
.
.
.
rpm -e php
and when it is all done,
yum install php
ASKER
did you see my reponse?
ASKER
php is definately installed but i don't think its configured correctly.
first do the following.
1. check for the file libphp5.so (whatever, the php.conf says) in /etc/httpd/modules directory.
2. copy the same "test.php" to /var/www/html and try opening "http://localhost/test.php" (do you see hello world!!!!!)
3. try adding one more line to test.php "phpinfo();". This should give a load of info on what php version, etc on the browser window.
4. i see that if i name my files "*.html" and include some php inside then it also gives me weird output. does the same happen with you as well???

lilphp5.so exists in moduldes folder
when i copy test to that folder ti comes up blank in the browser
when I rename the test.php to test.html i get
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /test.html on this server.
This may be a clue of some sort.
