Hello,
A few suggestions for httpd.conf
Make sure index.php is in the list of possible starting pages:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.htm index.php
and php is a known application type:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3
Thank you for your answer,
unfortunately, my php.conf file already holds both lines: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 DirectoryIndex index.php
as well as: LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
A few more thoughts. When testing whether apache is correctly listening to port 80, I ask for http://localhost, Apache access log correctly records the transfer of data from server to client.
When feeding the web browser with a simple file such as:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<head></head>
<body><?php phpinfo(); ?></body>
the log file does not record anything, meaning that no transfer is carried out. Is this correct or not?
