Apache2 and PHP5 no longer working

tensigh · 01-07-2008, 01:43 PM

Hello,

I'm running Debian Sarge 3.1 and PHP5 and Apache2. Until Friday, they worked great. I installed python-pysqlite2 and now PHP won't work.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling PHP5, PHP4, etc. a2enmod says that PHP5 is enabled. I've restarted Apache numerous times. But when I try to access any PHP page, Firefox just downloads the PHP page code.

Where should I start?

I can't get PHP to run. I've added the components and a2enmod says php5 is enabled, but each PHP page just downloads the code to the user's desktop.

Where should I start? I'm running Debian and Apache2

Need to configure apache to parse PHP files. Add the following lines to your apache config file:

Code:

LoadModule php5_module             modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script             php
AddType    application/x-httpd-php php

You need to add the following lines to you apache configuration file:

Code:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script .php
AddType text/html .php

Then you need to restart apache.

Silly question, but that should go in the apache2.conf and not httpd.conf, correct?

How do I install it? I can't seem to find it, and apt-get install libphp5 failed as well.

I can't seem to find libphp5.so on my system. apt-get install libphp5 didn't work either. Do you know what package it's a part of?

Hi,

Install libapache2-mod-php5

So that installed but PHP pages still try to download instead of run. What should I check next?

I merged your posts together as they seem to be related.

I didn't mean to post in two places; sorry for the mixup

This is my initial configuration for Apache2 and PHP5:

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

Code:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load:

Code:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mime.conf (make sure this is inside the tags <IfModule mod_mime.c> and </IfModule>):

Code:

# Mime Type for PHP5
AddType application/x-httpd-php		php

That's all you need so apache can run php code.

If you make any reconfiguration at the config files, make sure restart the apache2 server

Okay, I'm almost in the clear.

PHP seems to be working now. If I go directly to the PHP page (for example, www.mysite.com/index.php) it works.

What isn't working is that I used to just go to the directory (i.e. www.mysite.com/pictures) and it would automatically go to index.php.

I forgot how to set this in Apache2; can you help me?

Thanks for all of your help. It's nice to have this back up!

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf:

Code:

<IfModule mod_dir.c>

          DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm

</IfModule>

Regards

Looks like I'm okay now. Don't know what happened. I definitely did /etc/init.d/apache2 restart after every change, but I guess I must have missed a step.

Thanks for all yer help.
