[ltp] [OT] Help re: php / Apache

[Pablo Vera]

I always configure Apache using its own configuration file "httpd.conf", 
you can find it in:

 <apache installation path>/conf

open it and look for the following lines:

#
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a 
DSO you
# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the
# directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are used.
# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need
# to be loaded here.
#
# Example:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so

LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so

and make sure that the line above is there without a comment # at the 
begining.

Pablo
