Apache2 + PHP + MySQL

How would I go about setting this up? Anyone have a guide? I alreade emerged apache, php, mysql, mod_php, etc but it still says PHP is not running, and I bet that it doesn't recognize MySQL either. So how can I make this work?

if you have apache2 and mod_php installed, then you only need to edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 and enable php in the APACHE2_OPTS, by adding "-D PHP4" to the line:

The first thing is that you should not install Apache2+mod_php for production or semi-production purposes:
http://www.php.net/install.apache2

I also prefer to emerge them separately: first Apache then mod_php (mysql should be emerged before php, too). At least this always works fine.

You should also study the configure parameters of php and add the corresponding directives to the USE variable or you'll get no modules like DOM, XSLT or GD which are very useful.

If you're going to serve several virtual host you SHOULD read about the base_opendir and safe_mode ini directoves of PHP: this is due to all the php scripts run from the same user and therefore can access each other's sensitive data by default.

After emptying the log, restarting the server, and trying to access a PHP page this is what's in the log.
However this does not look like something special =\

This is not an informative part of the log. It's all normal...

Are there mod_php.conf and php.ini files in /etc/apache/conf/addon-modules?
Is mod_php.conf included in httpd.conf or its includes?

What happens if you put an index.php file containing
<?php phpinfo() ?>
to your DocumentRoot and go to http://your_ip/index.php with your browser?

OK I see a problem because i don't have an addon-modules folder in conf.

Hmm.
If you emerged them all-in-time there probably are no addon-modules and everything is in httpd.conf. I just never tried it this way...but i can suppose it is so...
check your conf files for presense of the line like this
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
is it present?

Added that - still won't work, even though the file exists...

Damn, apache is pointless for me if I don't have PHP working

I have php4, apache 2.0.48 and mysql 12.22.
To install I followed these steps:

emerge apache
emerge mysql
emerge php
emerge mod_php
Added Line in /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf:
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
Didn't added the -D PHP in APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2

Now it is working perfectly
