Can't Display a PHP file in browser

[Mark Gambo]

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!

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..
