Very Computer

I have mysql installed and it seems to be working.  I had to put some
entries in my /etc/hosts file to get mysql to work but it does now.

Apache works too.  I downloaded the port of apache-1.3.22_4.tgz and
installed the package and it'll serve up web pages okay.  

I can't get PHP to work.  I've read and re-read documentation and searched
the web and can't find a way to get it to run.  The limited understanding
of PHP that I've got pieced together is that you have to tell apache about
it at the time its compiled.  I exactly followed the instructions at

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php

I now have two installs of httpd.  One of them is at /usr/local/sbin/httpd
and the other is at /usr/local/apache/bin .  The one in /usr/local/sbin
starts up at boot.  I think I need the other one.

Both are useless to me because neither properly work with PHP.  I'm fairly
amateur at Unix but a foray back into windoze with the win32 versions of
these same things burned just as much time with no useful result.

What am I missing?

Reply to the group please because my hotmail account is hard to read under
BSD, java support's not working right yet.

Hope it helps.

Ready to rock ;-)

If you installed the Apache package and the MySQL package already,
you have the equivalent of the first 3 commands above on your system
already. Check with pkg_info(1). Then you just need to install mod_php4.

It's the first article in the list.
