Hello.after a base install of Debian Etch, I selected all necessary packagesfor a LAMP System - Linux Apache MySQL PHP.Specifically:apache-perl 1.3.34-4php5 5.1.6-5libapache-mod-php5
5.1.6-5[and related packages]But I have to manually edit /etc/apache-perl/httpd.conf and enable"AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" aswell as /etc/apache-perl/modules.confto add "LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp5.so".
Why do the installer scripts not handle that automatically?That could avoid a lot of noise on support forums of all kind ...-- greetings,Patrick Frank
