Hi
I have had your chat software on the website for ages and then my site gets hacked and busted. In the process of rebuilding it I notice I can't run .php3 files... The ISP sates that .php3 were insecure and they only support .php and .php4 files now.
This is about the best chat software I have found how can I use it on my site now? Any Ideas would be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Jerry

I am new to the Apache environment and so this question might sound very basic - nevertheless, is the httpd.conf file found in every user's directory or is it at a root level. Where do I look for it? Is it a hidden file?
Many thanks.

Since you are on a shared server at your ISP, I believe your only recourse at this point is to rename all of the files to have a .php extension. What a pain. IMNSHO, your ISP's logic here is pretty screwed up. PHP4 will run PHP3 files just fine, except for a few rarely used options. It isn't the extension that determines the security, it's what version of PHP is running on the server. (rollin' my eyes)

If you are on a shared server you can add the following line to your .htaccess
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3

i had the same problem! i renamed all *,php3 files to *.php and i changed all IN ALL FILES the extension php3 into php! you can do this with ultraedit or another good text editor

.php3 is suppose to be a big no no with php4 and the rules state that the extention should be .php - ok that is easy enough to change but a lot of phpChat's file names include underscores and periods, also a big no no with php4
Ok having quoted the rules, I'm not that well up on php and wanted to know, am I going to have to change the filenames? No doubt this'll mean that all the files will have to be checked for these file names to be changed also.
Alternatively is there a php4 update for phpChat?

If you are using Apache try this in your httpd.conf file:
ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"
ScriptAlias /php2/ "C:/php/"
ScriptAlias /php3/ "C:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .phtml .pwml .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .htm
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php/php.exe"
Tell me if it worked
