[users@httpd] Why isn't 'ScriptAlias' recognized within httpd.conf ?
Hi all you Apache-dudes!
I've installed Apache 2.0.40 onto a Win2K box and verified that it
serves up webpages, and now need to configure it to process PHP markup.
I just downloaded PHP 4.2.3 installer, installed it into C:\PHP, and
per the instructions am trying to configure it with Apache as either a CGI
binary
OR a module (I don't care which).
Please afford me your supreme wisdom and advise why Apache 2.0.40 doesn't like
this...
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
Upon restarting Apache after entering these lines, it says:
"Syntax error on line 24 of C:/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command: 'ScriptAlias', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a
module not included in the server configuration."
I tried commenting out that line, but then it gives a similar complaint
about the next one. And the next. Am I putting these commands in the
wrong file or something?
(btw, I'm a PHP newbie)
Your help is certainly appreciated, thanks!
(Host is a Win2K Prof box.)

A bit late perhaps; just catching up with the list. See comments below...

I reacted on the "line 24" thing here. You mustn't use such directive before
the loadModule list (which I assume you do here). ScriptAlias belongs to
mod_alias, thus the error. Move all php related somewhere further down.

actually, from reading the logs for this list, apache 2 has problems
with php still.
you could try running the latest apache 1 instead of apache 2

The error message is quite direct: you are trying to use a directive
from a module that is not available in your configurtion. Check your
LoadModule lines in httpd.conf and make sure they include things like
mod_alias and mod_actions.
