I'm new to PHP in general but have done some linux admin in the past so I'm not a complete newbie. My server does run CGI scripts from the same directory (cgi-bin) as I put the install.php file in and both my test cgi script which runs and my install.php which does not run have exactly the same permissions and owner:groups. When I try and browse to install.php, my web browser tells me Internal Server Error. Upon inspecing my apache error_log, I see the message "Premature end of script headers: /var/www/cgi-bin/install.php". I'm fairly sure that install.php is intact because I get no errors when I run php from the command line on it (though maybe that's insignificant, like I said, I'm new to PHP).

I'm very excited about getting FUDforum going on my machine and appreciate any feedback I can get. I've been beating my head against the desk trying to see an apache misconfiguration but am failing to find one. What can I try?

This is a PHP error. Which PHP and what webserver are you using?

Apache spits out this error message because there's something wrong with either the httpd.conf or with php module itself. If it's the httpd.conf then u have to check whether the module is loaded on start up. this would typically look like (Apache 1.3.x):
Quote:

[..]
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
[...]
AddModule mod_php4.c
[...]
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php index.php4
[...]
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php3 .phtml .php


At any case u have to specify the correct location of the module else execution will fail. If it's a php issue then it could be because ur php was compiled with the headers of an elder server version. with each server upgrade u have to re-compile all of ur modules as well.

I've got the new Mandrake 9.0 with apache version 1.3.26. PHP version 4.2.3. This was a clean install and /supposedly/ Mandrake installed both PHP and Apache correctly. I do have the necessary lines in httpd.conf (Specifying mine types and module locations). It loads php4_module from extramodules/libphp4.so which I checked and verified was there. Then in the AddModule section it says AddModule mod_php4.c which I haven't been able to locate, where should I look for it? I have a php binary in my /usr/bin but I haven't been able to locate a php.ini which I've heard some people mention. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place?

To get PHP working within Apache you really need just a few lines:

LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so

this loads the PHP module.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

This tells the server to have apache pass all files ending with a .php extension to the PHP module for parsing.

It's not tragical if it's not there. Most important is the module itself, with the .so ending. Apache 2 no longer has an addmodule section anyway.

the php.ini is in /etc
my.cnf (mysql) also can be found there

Apache 2 requires a slightly different data inside httpd.conf to enable php support.

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

By default, php installs it's php.ini file inside /usr/local/lib/php.ini. If it is not there, simply have php show you it's phpinfo() output, that will tell you the path where PHP is looking for the .ini file.

On the console this can be done by doing the following:

php -i | grep ini

Wow thanks everyone for the great feedback. I was able to locate my php.ini file in /etc and it appears to be configured correctly... in my commonhttpd.conf (which is included by httpd.conf) are the lines:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

and in my httpd.conf is

LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c

yet still I get the "Internal Server Error" and in the log it says:

[Mon Oct 7 09:46:28 2002] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem)
[Mon Oct 7 09:46:40 2002] [error] (8)Exec format error: exec of /var/www/cgi-bin/install.php failed
[Mon Oct 7 09:46:40 2002] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: /var/www/cgi-bin/install.php

Any more ideas? Thanks everyone.

You should NOT have both
'LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so'
and
'AddModule mod_php4.c'.
Remove the last line.

After you do so and start Apache, 1st do a quick test to see if PHP works, by making a file called test.php. Inside that file put
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and then try to view the file with your browser. Once this test works try installing the forum. If you still get the error, then edited the 'magic_quote_runtime' option inside php.ini and set it to 'Off'.

Alright I removed the AddModule mod_php4.c line, restarted the server and pointed to a test.php with the test line of php and got the same error, internal server error. Log said the same "Premature end of script headers" stuff. Checked php.ini for the setting you mentioned and it's already off. One thing I noticed, the php.conf file that httpd.conf is including contains two lines:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

these are -also- in my commonhttpd.conf file... is it hurting having them both or does it matter?

BTW, I really appreciate the assistance here. I know that this is a PHP/apache config type problem and is unrelated to FUDforum and so thank you for paying attention and trying to help.

Here is my entire httpd.conf file, for what it's worth Smile

### IP Address/Port and Proxied configuration section
###
# The APACHEPROXIED setting can be set in /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd if you

# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than

#
KeepAlive On

#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.

MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

#
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the

#
KeepAliveTimeout 15

#
# Server-pool size regulation. Rather than making you guess how many
# server processes you need, Apache dynamically adapts to the load it
# sees --- that is, it tries to maintain enough server processes to
# handle the current load, plus a few spare servers to handle transient
# load spikes (e.g., multiple simultaneous requests from a single
# Netscape browser).
#
# It does this by periodically checking how many servers are waiting
# for a request. If there are fewer than MinSpareServers, it creates
# a new spare. If there are more than MaxSpareServers, some of the
# spares die off. The default values are probably OK for most sites.
#
MinSpareServers 4
MaxSpareServers 10

#
# Number of servers to start initially --- should be a reasonable ballpark
# figure.
#
StartServers 4

#
# Limit on total number of servers running, i.e., limit on the number
# of clients who can simultaneously connect --- if this limit is ever
# reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it should NOT BE SET TOO LOW.
# It is intended mainly as a brake to keep a runaway server from taking
# the system with it as it spirals down...
#
MaxClients 150

#
# MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is
# allowed to process before the child dies. The child will exit so
# as to avoid problems after prolonged use when Apache (and maybe the
# libraries it uses) leak memory or other resources. On most systems, this
# isn't really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable leaks
# in the libraries. For these platforms, set to something like 10000
# or so; a setting of 0 means unlimited.
#
# NOTE: This value does not include keepalive requests after the initial
# request per connection. For example, if a child process handles
# an initial request and 10 subsequent "keptalive" requests, it
# would only count as 1 request towards this limit.
#
MaxRequestsPerChild 500

Looks like something in your apache not configure correctly. To be honest I am not sure why, never had to deal with Mandrake's distro of Apache, I always compile my own...
As some Mandrake users, surely they can assist you with this problem more then I can.
