RE: Apache/php4

Hi,

Thanks for all your help but I've decided to get rid of linux until I learn
more. Now my question is how do I get rid of linux off my system. I've done
a duel boot system so I'm not sure how to do it, and there isn't any
documentation that I can find to "uninstall".  I've tried disk druid and
fdisk on my secondary hard drive where everything is, but the lilo program
still runs and for some reason after all that linux still seems to be on my
system. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Phil

Well, the error depends on what test.php is supposed to do; it suggests that
it's trying to connect to a database or something like that. It doesn't
sound like an apache error, probably a test.php error, so it means php is at
least working.

Edit your httpd.conf file, and find the line with DirectoryIndex applicable
to your server. Add index.php there. Restart apache. That will make
index.php your default directory page.

Now make an index.php page, and just put this in it:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

This will spit out some diagnostic-type info when you run the page.
