PHP Installation - Blank Page

[babiwhatever]

Dear Tech Support

I have just bought my first Mac (OS 10.6.2) and I have tried to install Entropy PHP 5.3.0-3.pkg but absolutly nothing happened. (I decided to use Entropy because php.net downloads'page sent me there).

To tell you the truth, after Entropy even Apache didn't work.

So I tried uninstalling it using this:


sudo rm -rf /usr/local/php5

and

sudo rm /etc/apache2/other/+entropy-php.conf

Type your password when prompted.

And now Apache is working again. But I still can't use php or phpmyadmin. Could you please help me? I

Thank you,

Barbara

OS X 10.6 ships with php 5.3 installed, it just needs to be enabled.

It's in the /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf file

One line needs to be uncommented (remove the # at the beginning of this line):

#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

Stop and restart Apache (turn off then back on the "Web Sharing" service in System Preferences) after doing this, or simply make the change with Web Sharing stopped... otherwise it won't take effect.

I also use Mac (OS 10.6.2) recently. I can't understand some its functions. Can smb tell me whether a php form would work correctly there or I should install some utilities?
