Thread: form response
In: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf AddType application/x-httpd-php .php (appears as above plus an entry for each of php2,3,&4) LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so LoadModule php_module modules/mod_php.so These were all uncommented in the generic installation of RedHat 7.2. Where else can I look? I can create forms in php and tables in PostgreSQL but according to phpinfo(), php is not configured for PostgreSQL. If I survive this problem, that one is on the horizon.

Apache is not configured properly to recognize the .php extension. Look at the installation instructions for the AddType directives you must have. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.

Hmm, if the above directives appear in your conf in that order I think that is the problem. I am surprised that Apache isn't croaking with an error, since the module may need to be loaded before Apache understands what to do with x-httpd-php. That may not truly be the case, but it does seem suspect. What happens when you move the AddType to below the AddModule? Do the Apache error logs have anything to say? Do these directives appear in a context (such as <Directory>? How are you accessing phpinfo() if PHP scripts don't execute? Are you *sure* you built PHP as a module and *not* as a cgi?

These directives are at the very bottom, under the caption 'Document Type' in 'Section 2 - Main Server Environment'. <IfModule mod_php4.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule> 'Section 1 - Global Environment' contains the modules under the caption 'Dynamic Shared Object' Do the Apache >error logs have anything to say? They reflect my manually stopping and restarting Apache - and do indicate that PHP is running. Do these directives appear in a context >(such as <Directory>? Yes. See above. How are you accessing phpinfo() if PHP scripts don't >execute? That is strange! I cannot access phpinfo() inside a php file (not from Mozilla nor from a terminal window) but I did run it directly from inside Mozilla - not sure how, now. Remember, Mozilla runs the PHP form script and produces the form. It only breaks down when I try to call a PHP script from inside another script. >Are you *sure* you built PHP as a module and *not* as a cgi? No. I did not build PHP at all. I did not even select it. RedHat just included it with Apache.

Sorry if this is repeating info you have already posted, but how about php.ini? Is the pgsql.so extension in there? That's the important part. You can have php/apache/postgresql, but it seems like your problem is with php/postgresql, not php/apache. If phpinfo works, then it's definitley not apache. This is what's at the very end of my php.ini file: extension=pgsql.so It was added by Debian, but you can do it manually:) If you are sure you have the pgsql extension (which you may need to download seperately), and have this line in php.ini, and restart apache. Then we may have a problem.

Also, you should check to make sure that the PHP module is where the conf thinks it is, and remove the duplicate LoadModule (keeping whichever is accurate) from: > > LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so > > LoadModule php_module modules/mod_php.so If they both exist, there is possibly a conflict. Only PHP3 used "mod_php.so", IIRC. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc. "Leveraging Open Source for a better Internet"
