htaccess for PHP4

hai,

I've just got my account activated and compile PHP 4. and have installed phpAS. unfortunately the site still not functioning, I do believe it is due to the .htaccess file not properly configured. honestly i just create ".htaccess" and just write the following line (based on DH wiki).

AddHandler phpFour .php
Action phpFour /cgi-bin/php.cgi

Honestly I dont have a clue, I still reading "htaccess" manual (and still have ????).

So any pointer from any of the oldhand is highly appreciated.

thanks

Create a small phpinfo script and see what php.ini file php is pointing to.
The script looks like this:

<? php
phpinfo();
>

BTW,
Remember to remove that script when you are done.

Should there be "php.ini" around ? cannot find mine.

Do you have a /cgi-bin/php.cgi file?

Internal Server Error on a .htaccess file means the file is bad. Not reading something right or you mistyped something.

Yes /cgi-bin/php.cgi is there.

as for the htaccess, i just create a file typein the command as per wiki instruction, and that it.

I'm just curious about the php.ini. is it really required ?
