hi

i recently installed os x server 10.1. i did it because i thought it would be easy to test my own php scripts with it. i heard that all the webstuff as php, mysql, ... is included in the os x server and can easy be handled by the admin tool. but when i start the webservice and test a php script nothing happens. why? how can i set up the server to run my php scripts? (i am really a newby so please gimme some advice. i couldn't find anything useful on it elsewhere!)

thanks in advance!

You'll have to edit the httpd.conf file to make Apache parse PHP. There are a number of descriptions on how to do this around the web.

ok. i did that. i removed all the #'s where i had to. but now, when i test a .php -script in a browser (and i chose the right extension in the .conf-file for my php scripts) a alert appears that asks me what to do with that kind of file...!?
in the server admin tool i set the mime types for .php to 'server parsed' what seemed suitable to me.
any ideas?

This site has great info on PHP and MySQL on OS X:

sounds to me like your just trying to directly open the php file in your browser. You can't do that, you have to go through apache. Put the file in your Sites folder in your user directory then enter the URL: "http://127.0.0.1/~user/script.php"

Make sure you substitute your own user name and script name in the above url.

it works now. i set the MIME types for php files wrong in the admin tool (i set them to 'server parsed' instead of 'application/x-httpd-php').

thanks for all!
