PHP 5 with Apache 1.3 [reprise]

[Ian Smith]

Sorry to follow up on my own message, but it's all still true, and I
should report having found not a solution but at least a workaround ..

Further, .php scripts consisting only of the phpinfo() above, work fine
anywhere under docroot, and if called index.php, work for any directory
under docroot - but not in the phpmyadmin directory, unless referenced
directly eg http://localhost/mypmyadmin/index.php - which works fine.

Once so launched, phpmyadmin is working great, and I can get back to
work on several overdue tasks, which was the point of the exercise. 

However, I'm still bemused as to why this is happening:

I turned logging on and up on php and apache.  Still the above fetches
deliver the raw index.php file to save, but still log NOTHING nowhere(?)

So here's what's in httpd.conf possibly (I think) related to this:

  #LoadModule php4_module        libexec/apache/libphp4.so
  LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache/libphp5.so
  [..]
  #AddModule mod_php4.c
  AddModule mod_php5.c

  ServerName 127.0.0.1
  DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/data"

  DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

  #% chasing php weirdness, normally LogLevel warn
  LogLevel info

  <IfModule mod_alias.c>
    [..]
    Alias /phpmyadmin/ "/usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin/"

    <Directory "/usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin">
        Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
  </IfModule>

  <IfModule mod_mime.c>
    [..]
    #% 17/12/6 for php5 ..
    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    </IfModule>
    [..]
  </IfModule>
    
Everthing else is pretty standard, and as it's been for ages, as was the
above, updated from php4 to php5 after building php5 for mod_php5.so. 

Permissions are standard: directories 755, files 644, owner root:wheel

Anyway, http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ always fails as above, while
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php works fine, so I'll just have to
leave it at that for now .. it's still strange though ..
