[Pmwiki-users] clueless newbie can't configure Apache to run php

[Ted Stern]

For some reason, I'm unable to configure Apache to run php files, so I can't
even get pmwiki.php to run in my browser.

The best I can do is to get my browser to try and download pmwiki.php, which
doesn't help very much.

I've added the following to my httpd.conf file, sort of blindly groping around
for a fix:

      # Handle PHP files for PMWIKI:
      ScriptAlias /php4/ "/ptmp/stern/apache/php4/"
      AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
      AddHandler application/x-httpd-php /php4/php
      Alias /pmwiki/ "/ptmp/stern/apache/pmwiki/"
      <Directory "/ptmp/stern/apache/pmwiki">
          AllowOverride all
          Allow from all
          AcceptPathInfo on
      </Directory>

Any suggestions?  Why is this so hard to do?
