-- since "httpd -k restart" stopped working (probably around 10.2), I had just been doing it manually -- find the process, kill it, and hit httpd again -- thanks for the tip! So for those who are missing any of the lines, here are the full lines. In the section with all the other LoadModules: LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so Directly below that section should be the AddModules; you need: AddModule mod_php4.c And then the AddType lines should be right after the language priorities (so after the AddCharset lines and after the LanguagePriority bit): AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps Then restart apache/httpd as described above, and hopefully you should be good. BTW, the actual module should be at: /usr/libexec/httpd/libphp4.so So if things fail, you can check to see if that's there. Thanks to others who posted here; it definitely helped and got me on the right track. I just had to find the module manually to write my own LoadModule line. up -- run make again up down 0 jack dash pinette at uiowa dot edu ¶ 9 years ago PHP 4.3.0 can easily be build on Mac OS X client; you don't need to download a binary. The process is quite fast and painless.

You don't need to download or compile anything. You just need to edit the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file. Use the "sudo open -a TextEdit..." command line, above. Search for "php", and make sure you've un-commented _all_ the relevant lines: the two AddType lines above, and also the AddModule and LoadModule lines. (but not the AddType lines for php3, since you'll be using php4.) Save and restart Apache with "sudo apachectl graceful", and you are done. add a note add a note
