Apache is not interpreting .PHP files

Question

I recently downloaded OpenSUSE OS version 11.4 from the site to use it as a server..In order to do that I downloaded the server edition that has Apache/2.2.17 and PHP5 downloaded by default.....Ok till now it is fine

Now I started the Apache successfully and put a test.php file in the documentRoot directory. test.php contain only <?php phpinfo() ?>

Then using my browser I typed http://localhost/test.php and here was the problem the browser didn't display what phpinfo() should display, instead it asked me whether I want to open or save test.php...which is driving me crazy.... I googled a lot but no solution

THis is /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5.conf

<IfModule mod_php5.c> AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php4 AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php5 AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .php4s AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .php5s AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps DirectoryIndex index.php4 DirectoryIndex index.php5 DirectoryIndex index.php </IfModule>

Can you post your httpd.conf ? The part for PHP only not all of it. — Michael B.

One thing worth trying, is verifying that your project is not in a user dir (public_html folder), or that the configuration in php5.conf (/etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf for some configuration) allows such interpretation.

<IfModule mod_php5.c> <FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch> <FilesMatch "\.phps$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source </FilesMatch> # To re-enable php in user directories comment the following lines # (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it # prevents .htaccess files from disabling it. #<IfModule mod_userdir.c> # <Directory /home/*/public_html> # php_admin_value engine Off # </Directory> #</IfModule> </IfModule>

You can check what's inside

nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf

also you can check

sudo dpkg -S php5 | grep libapache2-mod-php5

which shows whether you have php5.conf in mods-enabled

I've got there:

<FilesMatch ".+\.ph(p[345]?|t|tml)$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch>

Note that this regexp matches .php5, but for some reason could not match .php.

Solution

apt-get remove libapache2-mod-php5 ; apt-get purge libapache2-mod-php5; apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

then open

nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf

and replace

<FilesMatch ".+\.ph(p[345]?|t|tml)$">

with

<FilesMatch ".+\.ph((p[345]?)|t|tml)$">

or simply execute

sudo perl -pe 's|\Q.ph(p[345]?\E|.ph((p[345]?)| if $. <= 3' /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf

and restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Take a look at PHP documentation and make sure the configuration is right

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php

This should be in your httpd.conf

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so <FilesMatch \.php$> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch>

@Ala ADUDEEB try with this. Make sure your file php5.conf is included in your default conf

php5.conf is in /etc/apache2/conf.d which is used by default by apache so this is not the problem

@AlaABUDEEB are you sure using the right php5.conf file? try to find where it's. $ find / -iname php5.conf

Probably you have no apache2-mod_php installed. Try to zypper install apache2-mod_php5 or whatever package name zypper search apache | grep php shows you.

sounds like mod_php5 is disabled somehow

try (as root)

a2enmod php5 service apache2 restart

Then try to access the pages again

apache modules in suse/opensuse are enabled from /etc/sysconfig/apache2, include php module where needed, run SuSEconfig and restart apache2 service :)

I came up with the following solution to the same problem. Change the following directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. I still need to understand why this changed the behavior of Apache, but it worked for me.

Change this:

<Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory>

To this:

<Directory /> Options None AllowOverride None </Directory>
