If CGI, then you should place your PHP scripts in /cgi-bin/, prepend '#!/usr/bin/php' or whatever, and make your scripts executable. Also control your php.ini file. If you run PHP as php_mod, then you must add the following lines to your apache httpd.conf file : AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 for whatever file extensions you need. After this, check again your php.ini file. I think it should be installed, I have it here on my system, installed from standard cygwin. It doesn't run here, but for other reasons, so I use the CGI, which I compiled from scratch. I do not need the performance, only the functionality.

Now I fully expect to be told to RTFM --- but here goes anyway! I've installed Cygwin on a W2K workstation primarily for the purpose of running Postgres and for this it works admirably. All installations have worked flawlessly. Encouraged by the performance of Cygwin I decided that I would replace the local Windows IIS 'Personal Web Server' with Apache +PHP. I started the Setup program, selected Apache and the PHP library and initiated the installation. The installation reported complete with no errors or warnings. I started the Apache server and accessing 'localhost/index.html' produced the desired result - Apache is up and running. I then wrote the approved php test script ( ) and pointed the browser to 'localhost/tester.php'. No PHP!! I checked the /etc/postinstall directory and the presence of apache-php-sh.done rather indicates that installation was OK. To check I deleted this file, re- installed the PHP library alone and, again, installation appears OK with no errors. I checked in the setup logs - again, no errors. However, nowhere on the system is the a libphp4 of any description to be found and so I can't see how I can add the LoadModule line to the httpd.conf file. I've spent a couple of hours Googling and searching the mail archives but have not seen this problem refered to anywhere else. I would appreciate a nudge in the right direction, Regards, Dave. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sent with "Me-Mail", Boltblue's FREE mobile messaging service. http://www.boltblue.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
