php: command not found

lucyoop · 07-06-2004, 01:09 PM

Blowfish,

When I use your way to autoindex my site, I got the following error message:

/bin/bash: php: command not found

I have tried all kinds of ways, no luck at all.

Any ideas about my problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi. Use the full path to PHP in the command.

lucyoop · 07-06-2004, 01:38 PM

When I use the full path for the php, I got the follow error message.

/bin/bash: /usr/local/lib/php: is a directory

Hi. What about using /usr/local/bin/php instead?

When I type the command whereis php. It gave me /usr/local/lib/php. I checked directory /usr/local/bin/, nothing under that.

When I type the command which php, it give the following message: which: no php in (/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin)

Hmm, as 'which' shows the full path of (shell) commands, it looks like PHP itself may not be installed correctly.

Do you mean I need reinstall PHP? But, our web site is hosting by other company!

Do we have any way to correct it instead of reinstalling PHP?

Thank you very much, Charter.

Hi. As you are hosted, just ask your host how they have PHP installed, and whether they support PHP via shell.
