Hey all,

I had php (the default install in Panther) up and running just fine in Panther. I recall editing a couple of lines in a cong file to get it up and running. While working on code I would keep my php files in my sites folder, and use my localhost to view them in Safari.

I upgraded to Tiger a little while ago, and just tried to access some php code to make a change or two to a script.

The php engine does not appear to be up and running. When I load the page in Safari, it just shows the script, like it is a text file.

I would assume the config file that I edited in Panther was replaced with a default one in Tiger that has php turned off... but I cannot remember which one it was.

Any thoughts?

Cheers!

The Folder: file:///etc/httpd/
You are looking for httpd.conf
you have to change permissions to edit it but need to change them back.

httpd.conf Edit:
Find:
#LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
Replace with:
LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so

Find:
#AddModule mod_php4.c
Replace with:
AddModule mod_php4.c


Now restart your webserver.
Easy Way: System Preferences -> Sharing. Stop then Start Personal Web Sharing.

Make sure php5 isn't in there if you installed php5
