Okay, so I've been trying to set up apache to test my php and mysql stuff, but for some damn reason, I can't get it to execute any scripts or even pretend to read the PHP.
I've tweaked my httpd.conf file to allow everything, but nothing works.
I should have a php_mod.c file somewhere, but I can't find it. Does this mean I have to reinstall PHP?

Damn my inability to use Unix proficiently.

hmm, did you set up apache with php? also why not just send it to me for me to test...well not sure about mysql, but i can test the rest of it out for you

well i guess i should ask what distro your using? have you set php support in the httpd.conf file? knowing what distro and such your using i might be able to help you correct this

Well, I was trying to use Apache 1.3 and php 4, but I said screw it and got someone to download a copy of Apache 2.2.6 and PHP 5.2.5. I installed everything newly and it all works now.
Except that Apache is not reading out of the DocumentRoot directory as it should. I changed the httpd.conf file to point to the directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/" which is where all my pages where set up on the last Apache. But for some reason, it's not reading from that dir. It still seems to be reading from the default "/usr/htdocs/". But the problem is that I replaced the index page in that directory, and it still shows it. Everytime I go to localhost in my browser, it just says "IT WORKS!" and doesn't show my index page.
I don't understand.

I've learned more Unix in the past 2 weeks than I have in 20 years.

How is Apache 1.3 going?

hmm, why don't you paste the httpd.conf file s I can take a look at it and maybe see where you have gone wrong in the configuration. Also would help to know the distro your on as well. Though I have never used apache on a Linux system, I doubt the configuration is much different then it is on FreeBSD...Oh wait, my media center uses apache...i'll have to look into that just in case they are different bro. Also, I never changed the default location for the web pages though in FreeBSD they are located in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/ for webpages and /usr/local/www/apache22/cgi-bin/ for cgi based pages...either way bro, if yur able to paste your httpd.conf file, or even send it to me I'd love to look at it and see if i can figure out where you may have gone

It's all good. I got it all working now except for the MySQL. Which, strangely, I can't get to work. Even through PHPMyAdmin, like we talked about earlier today. Even it gives me the "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' when I try to start it up.

once i can get the conf file for mysql figured out i'll give you a call and walk you through it. i have an idea of how to fix it i just have to figure it out first

Yeah, it's got to be that I have an incorrect setting somewhere. I thought I went through and tried everything, but I don't know. Hell, it might even be a combination of incorrect settings.

Or perhaps its a permissions problem...

*runs off to look at file permissions*

ok, figured out how to get into mysql...it works on the freebsd server so i can't see why it wouldn't work on yours...try this and see...hopefully uoi set the root password on the system when you did the install...

mysql -u root -p

type that in the terminal and it should ask for the root password...type in the password and you should be up and running

also for your interest bro...the website is now up and running online. So far everyone that has looked at it likes what we have both done.

Most excellent.

Yeah, I finally got my install to work. It was exactly like you said above. I forgot to add the root password. I think we even figured it out about the same time, if that's what you were calling about the other day...

what do you think about what I have done to the work you did bro?

Very nice, man. Looks good.

By the way, I uploaded a new logo image and CSS file for you, so the main logo image is a bit smaller.

cool, i'll play around with them tomorrow before i upload them online... i may have to add a couple of things to to the front page and well i am not sure it will all fit, but hey. oh and well i had to create a page for our privacy act and the link is down by the copyright you created...it seems to work perfectly for Opera and Firefox, but well it sucks in IE


Oh and next thing is to create all the icons for the new car page

Cool. If you want me to do anything, just let me know.
I'm keeping a tab...

well i have to get you set up in our computer so I can get a cheque made up and sent down to you for your work bro. damn looks like the copyrite symbol on a couple of the pages is all messed up..

By the way, you know more about this stuff than I so...

MySQL works fine now, but now I find that my PHP isn't configured to support it. But when I configured it, I specified where it was and everything. When I actually installed, it said that it couldn't find the header files for the specified location (but I didn't put them anywhere else!) and that MySQL (or maybe PHP?) isn't bundled anymore.
I'm not on my computer at this moment, however, so I can't be for sure the exact output it gives me.

Any clue what I might be doing wrong?

Cool. Just email me and let me know what info, if any, you need from me.

Whoa. They sure are. Let me look...

hmm...not really sure since i don't have a system in front of me either that has mysql, php or apache on it. you have tested PHP on your system and it works fine? you've tested mysql on your comp and it works fine? but neither sees the other? did you configure MySQL to support PHP? i'm not sure how to test this on my system since well i don't know jack about mysql


I can fix the copywrite issue in the morning. i know how to correct it now

should i upload the PDF i have of apache, php and mysql for you to read?
