Unhappy index.php <i>appears</i> blank
I followed the DevArticles instructions for installing Apache, MySQL, and PHP to a tee, but when I go to URL all I get is a blank screen. The only page I have in public_users is index.php. I can viewsource and see:
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "This worked!";
?>
</body>
</html>

Do you know what could be wrong? I think I saw a page somewhere that addressed this problem, but I haven't been able to find it again.
Anyway, thanks in advance!

Ben - you don't need the AddModule line.

I restarted my server (I have it set to run only when I open it, not always in the background) and I have
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
at the very bottom of my httpd.conf file, after everything.
Could it be anything else?

I just noticed this, in my Apache console I get the message:

[date and time] " [warn] module mod_php4.c is already added, skipping Apache/1.3.27<Win32> PHP/4.2.3 running..."

I am running WindowsXP Home Edition, if it matters. Thanks for your responses.

still nothing. I deleted first just the line that said AddModule, then all three lines. Same result: blank screen.

Add:

LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

To httpd.conf

Restart apache (start->Apache HTTP Server->Control Apache Server->Restart).

Add -

<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "This worked!";
?>
</body>
</html>

To c:\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\somefile.php (assuming you use this htdocs directory in your httpd.conf).

Go to:

http://localhost/somefile.php

You should see "This worked!"

Thank you.
This worked! I thank you so much for your help and patience. Now all I've got to do is learn PHP and whatever MySQL is for and my site will be rockin'. Thanks again everyone who helped!

Check out php.net for some basics. Then, go to http://thephpguy.com or devArticles.com for intermediate stuff.
