Can't Display a PHP file in browser

I am able to view html pages with embeded php scripts but when I attempt to view a php file in my browser I get a file not found error. Here if is my addtype statement from the httpd file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html

I am sure this is where my problem is but I don't know a that much about php yet.

Thanks

does the file actually exist?

Do you also have:

ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"

(or wherever you installed it)

and a


Action application/x-httpd-php /php/php.exe


?

Kows:

The file does exist I saved it with a .php extension and saved the exact same file with a .html extension. The html file comes up fine and displays the embeded PHP Script but the file with the .php extension states that the file doesn't exist.

mendhak:

The only PHP specific entries I have made is the one that I listed in my original post as well as an AddType entry regarding the files types .php .phptml .html (I think, when I get home I will check).

Where would I enter the following values:

1) ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"
2) Action application/x-httpd-php /php/php.exe


Thanks!

Your httpd.conf file ;)

Thanks for the post but do they eed to be in any particular section of the httpd.conf File?



Thanks again

PHP is not (usually) CGI, the ScriptAlias should not be necessary and might be harmful.

Is mod_php actually installed on your server (i.e. does it actually have PHP support)?

I don't suggest enabling PHP as CGI.. it doesn't allow much flexibility with file locations on your server and can be quite annoying..
