PHP redirect code not working on MacOS X 10.4.2

Almost migrated all of my websites intact from previous webhost to my own new little Mini Mac with MacOS X 10.4.2 server installed.

Have not changed or updated PHP on the Mac box, but I do wonder why this code does not work since it did on the webhost with same PHP version installed:

<?
header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
header( "Location: $url_name" );
?>

Anyone knows where or what to tweak? 🙂

PHP is installed, but not enabled by default.

You'll need to edit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and uncomment the two lines:

LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c

then restart apache

Many thanks for your reply.

In my initial post I forgot to mention that I did enable PHP via the Server Admin interface... Sorry about that. 🙂

It still puzzles me though that a simple code like the above mentioned wont work with the PHP, Apache configuration I have got now. I am using that code with two webhosts without any problems.

Any suggestions?

Seems to me now that something might be wrong with the way I write PHP kode. I have checked and the code I have written is not parsed via the server, a blank page is presented, the visit is logged in the web log.

The several Wordpress API's running on my MacOS box works perfectly well, the stuff I have written myself or other downloaded scripts does not work.

Is there something I am missing here?

Any specific routines for CHMOD's on executing PHP files?

Hmm...

This is weird. :/

Nope,
the php files should be just readable by apache. To test your setup simply create a new file with <?phpinfo();?> contents.

Problem is solved.

PHP comes with register_globals turned Off since v4.2.0.

http://www.php.net/register_globals

Have changed a lot of PHP code today. 🙂
