[users@httpd] Problem with execO
Hello,
I fear that, due to the intervening weekend, my posting of last Friday
might have been lost in the volume of emails. Allow me to repeat. I am
having no luck getting Apache to run. The closest point achieved so far
is when I start Console mode. The screen says:
> [Fri Aug 27 7:16:15 2004] [warn] (2) No such file or directory: execO
> may not be a safe
> Apache/1.3.31 (Win32) running...
What does it mean, and what do I do about it?
I want to get PHP to support MySQL on my PC in local mode. Hence, I
need the server. I installed Apache 2.0. Then I found on the php site
that this was a mistake, uninstalled it, and then installed Apache 1.3.
The system is Windows 98.
During set-up I entered my email address, "localhost" and "127.0.0.1."
Settings in Apache's conf include
-- Two lines at top of file:
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
-- The rest of the file is pretty much at default, including:
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache"
ServerName 127.0.0.1
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs"
I did find a reference which bothers me:
# Under Win32, we do not currently try to determine the home directory of
# a Windows login, so a format such as that below needs to be used. See
# the UserDir documentation for details.
#
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/users/"
</IfModule>
There is no /users/ directory! Also, there is no error log in the
(still empty) /logs/ directory. What do I do about that?
In C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs I have two test files,
test.html and test.php. Both include this in the <body>:
<p>Hello from HTML.</p>
<?php echo "PHP says Hi, too";
phpinfo();
?>
If I open either directly, only the HTML line appears. There seems to
be no connection between the page and PHP. If I address the files as
http://localhost/test.html
http://localhost/test.php
http://127.0.0.1/test.html
http://127.0.0.1/test.php
they all go to "page cannot be displayed." I assume it's because of the
above Apache error. Apache is running as a Service. The execO error
is seen when I then click on the icon to open it as a Console.
I also ran across:
> Because Apache cannot share the same port with another TCP/IP
> application, you may need to stop, uninstall or reconfigure certain
> other services before running Apache. These conflicting services
> include other WWW servers and some firewall implementations.
So I turned off both firewall and virus protection; no change. I am
*not* about to uninstall them!
I have visited the faq and have done searches on the archives. No joy.
That's all I know about what to say or observe, and have now exhausted
my technical knowledge of the product outside of
see-the-dog-see-the-dog-run explanations. Any idea where I might
find/fix my major foul-up?
Thanks for your time.
Harold
