php4.4.2 and apache2.2?

[jlct]

Hi
Im having problems with the two parts.
The Apache2.2, does it have compatibility support for PHP4.4.2? or vice versa?

I get a horrendeus error when running phpinfo() being

PHP Warning:  Unknown(/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/php/phpinfo.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0, referer:

http://localhost/php/
[/list]

PHP Warning:  (null)(): Failed opening '/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/php/phpinfo.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0, referer:

http://localhost/php/[/list]

Is there anyway to overcome this? Thanks in advance, Jason

Is this under Linux?

Have you given the php/ dir permissions under httpd.conf?

Have you set the proper file permissions for phpinfo.php?

[jlct]

oh, yes.
I forgot to mention, Fedora Core 5, x86-64

edit: I should also mention, it does it on Apache 2.0.54 as well

Thanks

Sounds like a permission problem. Why dont you chmod it to 777 and chown it to root:root -- if that helps, move the permissions to something more appropriate.

Hi
Thanks for the help but it doesnt seem to work for me.
changing to 777 and chown to root, well its already under root ownership.
It does not work.
It still gives the same error
any more suggestions?
thanks

And the php dir?

[jlct]

Changing to 777 the /usr/local/apache2, /usr/local/lib/php, /usr/local/include/php still has the problem. Also, I changed ti 32bit so I think this problem is realted to misconfiguration.

It also gives the same error on Apache 2.0.58 as well as Apache 2.2
The php works perfectly from the command line though, just not from Apache


So I am still lost here

The file phpinfo.php is under /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/php/phpinfo.php ?

And you alias that to /php under httpd.conf ? All the permissions given and all the dirs and files are correct ?

chmod/chown will only set the specifed dir/file -- not sub dirs (without an -R).

Hi
I actually went playing with the chmod and changed file to 777(havent tried other settings yet) and it works if it is only on THE file (im used to windows where changing a folder, you can change its subdirs as well) so Im thinking, is there someway of granting php/apache whichever is appropriate access to the files by assigning it to a user? Thanks

[admin]

The main Apache process runs as root (and the forked processes run as nobody or www), so any user/group will do for the dirs and files your are serving. Actually, its best to set weboot as root, so if a sub process gets compromised, none of the files will be accessible -- and if the main process gets compromised, well, its already root and there is nothing you can do.

chown -R root:root /usr/local/webroot
chmod -R 644 /usr/local/webroot

Would set everything up, all files and subdir of /usr/local/webroot

[jlct]

Hi
Thanks I will do that,
Also, how do I get apache2.2 to start on boot (as in a service/daemon)?
Thank would be nice too
Your support has been much appreciated
Once again, Thanks

Edit::
Im probably the biggest noob alive here, I was installing some PEAR modules for PHP and got the following:

Warning: main(Console/Getopt.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in System.php on line 27

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Console/Getopt.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/local/lib/php/System.php on line 27

The file listed obviously does not exist and I found during make that it came up with this:

[PEAR] Archive_Tar: bad md5sum for file tar.php

or something along those lines
This error repeats itself for the tar module, console:getopt module and the HTMLTemplateIT module.

Is there anyway of fixing it? Thanks

[admin]

Re-download the corrupted file?

[jlct]

Hi
Ok, thanks, that worked out expected
Now how do I get apache2 to start up as a service upon boot?
Thanks
Jason

That can depend on your distro...
