Hello all,
I have Centos running on a separate machine in my local network. I wanted to learn skills that would help me manage a dedicated hosting account, so I setup dynamic dns services. I haven't gotten to the chapter I am reading in various books that deal with DNS on my Centos machine. It is version 6.3 of Centos.
So, I have fwwebdev.dnsdynamic.com available in the directory /home/www, with full path
/home/www/fwwebdev.dnsdynamic.com/
I have a public_html folder in there but I haven't figured out how to get the root for each domain to serve files from the public_html directory instead of from the directory for that domain. I also probably want to setup username's for each directory, so if I wanted to host futurewavehosting.com, with username fwhost, I would have a folder /home/www/fwhost/
and inside there I'd have public_html and that's where the public area for my site would be. That's how it is on my dedicated server that was setup by a company.
When I browse to
http://fwwebdev.dnsdynamic.com I get the index.php file that I put inside /home/www/fwwebdev.dnsdynamic.com/
When I view the source code, I just see my html without any php generated code. It is just thrown out.
I did install php as root using
yum install php*
when I tried that again, it said everything is installed and up to date. I did a search
yum search php and tried installing various packages and they were reported as already installed.
I don't have php anywhere in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. But I have a call to
Include conf.d/*.conf
and there is a simple short file there which I'll copy below. It seems that the other php modules should be called by the httpd.conf file or by the php.conf file. From what I read, it seems that these files should be added to the httpd.conf file when I run the
yum install php*
Here's a thought... I installed the php files from the Centos desktop. So, when I run yum install php* it reports nothing to install and that might be why nothing gets added to the httpd.conf file. It's just a hunch. Guess I'd need to uninstall and then reinstall php to check that out.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Bruce
