Want to enable PHP in Leopard

[Charioteer]

I use apple laptop running on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. I wanted to use PHP on this machine and I have heard that it comes with preinstalled PHP 5.2.4. As far I know that it enables by default but I think these is not enabled on my machine. I have tried to enabling it using my ways but not succeed. If anyone knows how I can enable it, then please tell me. Any suggestions will appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Go to the Text wrangler and then go to the file menu and click on the open hidden. From the open dialog box click on all files from the enable drop down menu and then look for

• HD:private:etc:apache2:httpd.conf, and hit Open.

Scroll to the

• #LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

In your case version may be different. Go to that line and delete $ or # sign after removing this sign it will look like this,

• LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so.

And then save this file. After doing all this PHP will enable on your computer.

I was also wanted to enable PHP and for that I have done some settings, I will also suggest to these settings. In Finder, click on to the Go menu and then click on “Go to folder” and type "/etc/apache2/”. You will see a file named httpd.conf, copy this file to desktop and open it with TextEdit and look for this line "#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so". Remove “#” and then save that file. After all this copy it to "/etc/apache2/ and then restart your Mac to enabling PHP.

I have gone through you question and I have found an answer, that is edit this line /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf by going into the text editor and make changes in line no.114 that is uncomment it and then it will look like LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so. Then at the ends, click on the system preference and go to the sharing. Stop web sharing and restart it again. I hope this information may help you.

Here I have given you some settings follow those for enabling PHP. Go to the terminal and type cd/etc/apache2 for going to apache2 and then in the text editor open httpd.conf using pico and then look for php. Make changes in the line that loads php module, by removing # and then to save all this modifications by pressing Control X, then Y and enter on keyboard. If you are having any other queries then reply me.
