Very Computer

My setup:
Intel P-133, 48MB RAM.
RedHat Linux 5.1
Apache 1.2.6
PHP 3.0.5

Yes I know there's a more recent version of Apache, once again, client
issue. Maybe I can get them to upgrade later.

What I've done:
Installed Apache: It works fine when serving HTML.
Installed PHP. The following script runs from the command line:
<?
echo ("Hello Universe!\n\n");
?>
It prints, Hello Universe, and no error messages.

I've read the PHP mailing list archives and tried to glean ideas from
messages posted there. I'm going to subscribe to the list again to
post this question if I have to, but the list is *so* busy I can't
keep up with it.
I've been over the PHP and Apache docs several times. Maybe I'm just
stupid and missed the obvious...but I still don't know what to do.
I've twiddled httpd.conf and srm.conf a bit based on stuff I read in
the mailing list archives. Nothing seemed to happen. I'd post the
changes, but I'm on a Win98 box right now...That's why I don't have
error messages in front of me right now either. Doh! The most frequent
error was something like, "file not found".

Oh, yeah, I *did* stop and restart Apache between editing sessions.

I know this can't be too hard to get working, I just need a whack on
the side of the head to get me started!

- check that the PHP binary is executable & readable
  (e.g. chmod ug+rx php3)

- check that the php3 is in the cgi-bin dir

- check that if it is in the cgi-bin, you are using the URL:
http://www.foo.com/cgi-bin/php3/coolscript.php3
(you will need a different path if "coolscript.php3" is not
in cgi-bin)

- if php3 is not in cgi-bin, are you allowing script execution
in the dir where the script resides?

- consider associating the .php3/.phtml extensions w/ the action of
passing the script to the PHP3 binary: (modified from the sample
Apache config)

AddType application/x-httpd-php3-precomp .php
Action application/x-httpd-php3-precomp "/cgi-bin/php3 -e"
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml .php3
Action application/x-httpd-php3 /cgi-bin/php3

The error you are seeing looks to me that is due to a wrong Alias
directive, or the wrong URL to the script or the php3 cgi.

Good luck.
