I can confirm that MySQL is running under my installation of Tiger 10.2.4 (client) because if I enter

Code:
http://localhost/

into my browser, the Apache test page comes up. So far so good.

Now to PHP. Even after going to System Preferences --> Sharing and making sure Personal Web Sharing is checked, and inserting a file called test.php into my ~/Sites/ directory, then going back to browser and entering

Code:
http://localhost/~myusername/test.php

, but all I get is the text of my source code, not the PHP test page.
So I decided to try installing a build of PHP 4 from www.entropy.ch and that didn't work either.

I'm nearing the end of my rope. This is driving me nuts. Any advice?

your on the right track. but by default when apple sends out apache with its system php is turned off...

so you got to go to ~/etc/httpd/
heres a file link in case you dont got hidden files not showing file://~/etc/httpd/ (right [ or control+click] and open in new window)

and open the httpd.conf file and search for

#LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
rename with out # so its
LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so

now search for
#AddModule mod_php4.c
and rename without # so its
AddModule mod_php4.c

now since premission errors may occur not allowing you to say there sometimes so if it does save to desktop and move it there and save by authenticating it with admin name and password

go to sharing again and stop web sharing and then start it back up.

your test.php should now work.

Thanks for the tips --- turns out I had already done those steps but that my code on the test pages got befouled by PageSpinner (HTML added around it) by mistake. Once I fixed 'em it worked. Stupid, huh? So, now it works.

np as long as you got it working it is all good
