After setting up Apache it's not serving PHP files, but showing the contents of the files instead

Question

The error I got is in this url: url in browser: http://localhost/ error in browser: https://justpaste.it/d82bd

What am I missing here?

I copied the file ipconfig.php (given below) from ipconfig.php.example but no luck.

I give permission to the files using this:

 cat /etc/systemd/system/php-fpm.service.d/override.conf ReadWritePaths = /srv/http/ipconfig.php ReadWritePaths = /srv/http/uploads/ ReadWritePaths = /srv/http/application/logs ReadWritePaths = /srv/http/vendor/mpdf/mpdf/tmp 

 $ ls /srv/http application docker-compose.yml ipconfig.php.example uploads assets Gruntfile.js LICENSE.txt v1.5.11.zip composer.json htaccess package.json vendor composer.lock index.php README.md CONTRIBUTING.md ipconfig.php robots.txt 

We are on Archlinux

We created a database in mariads as explained in Archwiki

$ mariadb -u root -pa MariaDB > CREATE DATABASE invoiceplane; MariaDB > GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON invoiceplane.* TO invoiceplane@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; MariaDB > FLUSH PRIVILEGES; 

further

$ cat /etc/httpd/conf/extra/invoiceplane.conf Alias /invoiceplane "/srv/http" <Directory "/srv/http"> DirectoryIndex index.php AllowOverride All Options FollowSymlinks Require all granted </Directory> 

$ cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf 

result

$cat /srv/http/ipconfig.php

result

I am sorry but I am a complete newbie but I tried to do as suggested in wiki and docs.

Answer 1

I would do a Google search with the following keywords: apache server not reading php files

It will show that you need to add a handler for PHP files in the Apache config file

Answer 2

the "error" you pasted in justpaste.it is not a real error message, but you are seeing the whole index.php file. This means probably that PHP on your server is misconfigured.
