[NTLUG:Discuss] Getting php working with Apache.

[Steve Baker]

I've been running a simple web site off my home server/firewall PC for a couple
of years now and I'd like to add a Wiki and forum system - which seems to imply
a need to get php going (so I can install phpBB and phpWiki).

However, I don't seems to be having any success.  I installed php according
to instructions and added the couple of lines to the http.conf that's recommended,
but '.php' documents from my server still come out as ASCII text when I view them
in a browser.

Can anyone suggest any common mistakes I might have made?   Is there a way to
test php independently of it's connection to Apache?  (eg can I make it do something
from the command line?)
