Installing PHP - "test.php" not Working?

[Vik Rubenfeld]

I'm a newbie to Apache. This week I installed my first Apache 2.0 server,
and it's working fine. I then installed PHP. When I ran the PHP test file
("test.php"), the actual text contents of the file came up in the
browser:

----------------
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
----------------

I confirmed that my Apache installation includes the "mod_so.c" module. I
made sure that the file "test.php" was in the default htdocs folder. I
confirmed that my "httpd.conf" file contained the lines :

----------------
LoadModule php4_module /Library/Apache2/modules/libphp4.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
----------------

I made sure that the directory /Library/PHP4 was installed, and that the
"libphp4.so" file was located in /Library/Apache2/modules.

I logged out of my system (Mac OS-X 10.3.2) and logged back in, to make
sure that Apache restarted.

What am I missing? How can I get PHP working? Thanks in advance to all
for any info.

Now I known nothing about OSX, but I'm told it's not unlike
a unix underneath all the eye-candy. If that is the case, I
would think you need to do more then a logout to have Apache
restarted. Did you try a reboot?

I just read your post and tried a reboot, but it hasn't gotten PHP
working yet.

Try to type this as address in your browser:
http://127.0.0.1/test.php
or
http://localhost/test.php

This should work if your test.php is in apache htdocs folder. I had similar
problem when I was first time installing PHP, and this was the solution.
