[SOLVED] <IfModule mod_alias.c>

[bammerman]

I just installed php 4 on my apache webserver

 

I am told by a fellow webmaster to

*******************************

"Open the httpd.conf (C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd.conf) file and find the line:

 

 

<IfModule mod_alias.c>

 

Immediately under this line insert the following lines:

 

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe" 

*********************************

 

I am looking at the httpd.conf and there is no <IfModule mod_alias.c>  I do have a <IfModule alias_module> where I put the ScriptAlias /php/... but the webserver did not recognize my <?php phpinfo(); ?> test.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated

There is a alias module but it is a ".so" not a ".c"

There is a alias module but it is a ".so" not a ".c"

 

Are you on windows or Linux?

 

Those defininitions don't need to go within any <IfModule> condition. Place them into the global space of your httpd.conf file.

I was finally able to connect to PHP, but not PHP cant talk to MySQL. 

http://www.expertsrt.com/tutorials/Matt/install-apache.html is what I am following step by step

using: php v. 5.2.6 / apache 2.2.9 / mysql 5.0.51b

 

in the tutorial it states:  "Uncomment the line extension=php_mysql.dll (around line 650) in your php.ini and (re)start Apache."

 

extension=php_mysql.dll does not exsist

 

doing this on a windows xp machine for testing purposes.  fresh install of windows and the other 3 things stated above.

[trq]

extension=php_mysql.dll does not exsist

 

Then add it.

I don't know where too lol. first time using php and mysql.  is there a specific position in the php.ini to put it or can i do it just anywhere?

[bammerman]

this might be the problem, that file does not exsits at all in php or mysql directory.  in my php ini there is.

[MySQL]

; Allow or prevent persistent links.

mysql.allow_persistent = On

 

; Maximum number of persistent links.  -1 means no limit.

mysql.max_persistent = -1

 

; Maximum number of links (persistent + non-persistent).  -1 means no limit.

mysql.max_links = -1

 

; Default port number for mysql_connect().  If unset, mysql_connect() will use

; the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the

; compile-time value defined MYSQL_PORT (in that order).  Win32 will only look

; at MYSQL_PORT.

mysql.default_port =

mysql.default_user =

 

; Default password for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode).

; Note that this is generally a *bad* idea to store passwords in this file.

; *Any* user with PHP access can run 'echo get_cfg_var("mysql.default_password")

; and reveal this password!  And of course, any users with read access to this

; file will be able to reveal the password as well.

mysql.default_password =

 

; Maximum time (in seconds) for connect timeout. -1 means no limit

mysql.connect_timeout = 60

 

; Trace mode. When trace_mode is active (=On), warnings for table/index scans and

; SQL-Errors will be displayed.

mysql.trace_mode = Off

*******************************

but i dont see if there is a different file i can use or not.  there is a libmySQL.dll (only .dll file in mysql directory)
