    Hi!

    I have been trying for two days now to install a webserver with Apache2, PHP5 and SuPHP on a machine that runs Ubuntu 7 (desktop). But has not yet been able to make it work.

    The HowTo that I found on this site, telling how to install SuPHP with PHP4 and PHP5 would have worked just fine, but half way in the tutorial (I have been following it step by step) things are different than the text describes. Maybe there have been some updates since it was written?

    I very noob to this, so I hope someone could help me with a HowTo using the configuration mentioned above.

    :)

    Where exactly did you encounter problems? What was different from the tutorial?

    Hi!

    The first "error" was when I tried to run "apt-get install php4-cgi". There it gives a message that the file doesn´t exist.

    I just tried to continue anyway, and next "error" was when editing "suphp.conf" where it asks for "x-httpd-php=php:/usr/bin/php4-cgi" in the end...

    And the next is when adding the line to "httpd.conf" (at this stage this file is empty) and try to restart Apache I get an error messages... about here I give up, just because I am to new at this and don´t know how to "work around"...

    BTW:
    Is it ok to use "gedit" instead of "vi" in lines like this: "vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf"??

    I'm not sure, but maybe there's no PHP4 for Ubuntu Feisty...

    If you're doing this from your Ubuntu desktop, then yes. gedit only works if you have a desktop installed.

    I see. Well, then I guess that I am hoping that someone can help me (and maybe some others) out by making a Howto on getting SuPHP to run with only the versions thats in this threads title.

    :)

    Ok! Thanks!
