Installing and upgrading help

I worked through that last week (with the help of a wonderful colleague). Saving httpd.conf requires root access, but BareBones's BBEdit will let you save the file if you have adminstrator access.
Apparently, the Apache server that comes with Mac OS 10.3.4 is not set up to handle php, so you will have to make the following changes to enable it, which amounts to removing the pound sign, basically):

#LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
->
LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so

and

#AddModule mod_php4.c
->
AddModule mod_php4.c

I'd use the find function and type in php. Save it and restart Apache (or the computer) and it should work.

Hope this helps,
