PHP Installation issues
Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2004 3:38 pm
Hey all, first time poster here. Hiyas.
I perused several of the topics posted in this forum before posting this message. I have spent hours on both the php.net and apache.org sites searching through install notes and such.
At the moment, I am running a Win2k box and attempting to run PHP and Apache. My version of Apache is 1.3, installed through the Oracle Home Edition install. Normal html files work fine currently by browsing to localhost/inxex.html or any other html files.
Problem:
But when I try to navigate to .php files currently, it tries to actually run it with the x-hppd program. My browser (Opera 7) simply tries to run the php page as a program whereas Internet Explorer shows up the PHP page as designed... meaning, Internet Explorer works fine it seems whilst Opera7 does not.
Solutions: To hell with Opera, use IE.
Other Issue:
I had MAJOR problems restarting Apache because it is actually run as an Oracle service, and not Apache directly. To stop and start, it works to go to Services and Stop the OracleHomeHTTPServer and to Start IT again. Don't bother using prompts or looking for Apache itself. Might work ok, but I had issues.
Good luck, and hope this helps ppl from banging their heads on the same wall. Or hell, maybe someone can give me a better solution.
Cheers and Beers
