I have apache 2.2 on a debian server. I have installed php5 as module and have:

libphp5.so in usr/lib/apache2/modules

php5.conf (in mods-enabled):
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

php5.load (-//-):
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

In httpd.conf I have:
AddHandler php5-script php
AddType text/html php


The module is loaded and I have restarted the server, but php files dont work in the browser, they are just downloaded.

Any ideas?

Did you upgrade to apache 2.2 from apache 1? And did you upgrade php 4 to php 5, or were they already installed. I found with slackware if you upgrade apache 1 to apache 2 and with it php 4 to php 5 instead of uninstalling the previous versions and then installing the new ones you get problems. Or at least I did.

P.S. I had problems with apache 2.2 anyways. I kicked it down to 2.0 and it works great. Just a thought

The apache is a new install but I started out with php4. At one point I accidentally deleted the httpd.conf and I tried to reconstruct it, so I have a notion it has something to do with that

O.

Current httpd.conf:

# Use for PHP 5.x:
#LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script php

# Add index.php to your DirectoryIndex line:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

AddType text/html php

# PHP Syntax Coloring
# (optional but useful for reading PHP source for debugging):
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps

Well, my setup seems to work after all.
I cleared the cache in my browser and the php files are executed just fine!

Hate it when that happens. So it was working fine then. I noticed a difference in my config vs. yours. My Addtype lines are in php.conf But that might be a difference in Slackware packages vs. Debian.
